Everyone Knows Everything Online

[hifrommike65]

I have noticed in discussion board posts, & even in online articles (including on Wikipedia), a tone of absolute unwavering certainty from the writers. No one else can possibly be right but them. They are absolutely unquestionably correct in every view they espouse, however opinionated (or ridiculous), and how dare anyone else disagree. In fact, some of this tone of certainty has shifted offline into the conversations I hear snatches of walking down a hall or sidewalk. I just wonder if anyone else has noticed this phenomenon from the last decade or so.

What do you mean pal, everyone is an expert with bodybuilding drugs diet and training, they dish out cycles diets which they've never used to the people who think they are a professor, because they read it on the Internet so it's gotta be true, I agree about that

I know this cannot be true as attested by the mere fact that some people, even on this board, can't spell for shit. That alone dispels your surmisin' .

On the other hand, we have those holding up paper signs saying you're full of it.

Mac is that a dig at me, the spelling shit, if so I'm lucky to write at all with the near fatal car crash I was involed in, but you weren't to know.

Not at all. I use a spell checker. It's just to refute everyone knows everything concept.

I guess you don't recognize the humor, sorry.

Glad you survived your crash. I too had the same thing occur but it was on my motorcycle. Hit a van at 55 mph that pulled out in front of me.

Happy you survived pal, I've pm'd you some of what happened to me, no problem mate

[Mac]

I just made a graphic that I posted in my thread and after uploading it I saw I had spelled Training wrong. The spell checker doesn't work in the graphic app I was using.

So… just so you know I am among those members that can't spell for shit too. Technology saves my ass 95% of the time.

Mac was making a facetious point, and you chime in with such a comment?

What a pathetically thinly-veiled attempt at garnering sympathy.

I like this maniac

Most people don't know what facetious is.

But it's cool. I struck a nerve or something and we iron'd it out.

Will you guys stop pumping each other up & lifting things out of context?
