Worst Problem on the Internet: Stupid Users
O_o Crystallized Mew isn't very smart judging by his site!
("above" FF? ABOVE? Ok wise guy, what's the next hex number up from FF?).
This is about as purposeful as researching Missingno. again…
Look, I don't know exactly what this Crystal Mew character has done to deserve this treatment. Frankly I don't care, that's beside the point.
Newb bashing may seem like a fun sport, but it really is nothing but a waste of time, and can get you into some unexpected trouble.
Yeah, we have a guy here who thinks "he knows" and clearly doesn't ("above" FF? ABOVE? Ok wise guy, what's the next hex number up from FF?). He is also willing to lie to make himself look better while slandering others (they stole all my research, my chart is way better, etc.). And… anything else I'm unaware of.
So, you guys want to go on the forums, call them the idiot that they are, make fun of them, and hurl internet acronyms and Ad Ignorantiums like no tomorrow… while disproving everything they say on the side. What do you come away with at the end of the day? The guy doesn't like you any more than you started with, the guy doesn't change his ways, you've expended time that could've been spent on new research, and to some people… you're going to look like an unbridled prick.
For the most part, just focus on your own stuff. What another is doing somewhere else has no bearing on what you are doing. Maybe you're concerned with your website ranking… I wouldn't be. Research sites generally don't get ranked high because they don't cater to the lowest common denominator. If you want to be #1, you gotta "post about every time Pokemon makes an appearance on a bag of cheezy poofs" (as JT Toad put it… on the Azure board 6 years ago).
If you insist on going to go to someone else's forum that deals in the same subject as yours, then keep it civil. Be polite. If they throw it back in your face, then leave, and never speak or think of them again. This way, anyone who looks at the conversation who isn't also an arsehole will see you as a good willed, intelligent person. The other person will look like the arsehole. The person may decide they'd rather hang around with you… to help you, or try to learn something from you. Hey, what do you know… a new recruit!
If you need any more reasons not to use newbs for clayshooting, just remember: sometimes, you'll make mistakes. You may have the most advanced knowledge in your field in the world, but the fact is you're human, and are not immune to even the most stupid mistakes. And some day, you'll make one such mistake while trying to "pwn" that annoying newb who deserves to be pwned… and YOU will be pwned. And it won't matter how right you "really" are…
I speak from experience you see.
