People who flame like that and choose to stay ignorant, should never become parents. Young children, especially babies, are dependent on guidance and support for growth. With the attitude of ignorant aggressive bullies, these children would perish within two weeks. THAT is how fragile a child's life is.

And why would we think that in our adulthood we would be less susceptible to this behavior and attitude? It is devastating!

That's also why the "ubuntu" mentality has been adapted by a broad range of acumen in IT. When one wins, everyone should win. If one is let down, we all should feel as if it's us that is suffering.

Arrogance is a spirit killer. No good comes from it. And it should be a focus to eradicate it everywhere, especially on the work floor.

We've seen millennia of years of results of what arrogance leads to. It's the single most attributing factor leading up to fights, wars, conflicts everywhere.

And if arrogance is all you've got, I pity you. Because that means you've never learned to grow up. You think you're big and important, but all you are is a miserable piece of burden.

We all have our struggles, we all have our past and we all have our opportunities to cease every day. That makes us unique. Not better, not worse. Unique. So nobody is having a head start or is winning. You might ace in fields and suck in others. That's fine. But don't bring others down because of their struggle in areas where you thrive.

The Netiquette is something less and less people are aware of. It should still be the standard online.
