Idiocy

My world has its fair share of idiots.

Take for example vwvortex.com where I am a casual user. I don't scour the site nor the forums; I just stick to the regional goings on and the more or less interesting bits in the areas that cover the car I drive. There are some truly moronic owners of the new GTI out there. Who else but a moron would take the time and effort to bang away at a computer keyboard to identify themselves as a moron in a message thread that had not yet labeled that person a moron?

The conversation starts with a compaint about people advertising the use of their tools for a price. Legitimate. Not really anyone's business but the tool owner, really. I tend to agree if you have a tool and someone might need it, the polite thing to do is lend it not rent it. Moron X has to immediately flail about his computer defending his right to charge a fee for the use of his tool. It is his right. Great for him. But just how stupid does said tool owner have to be to label himself as one of those cheapskates the conversation started with a complaint about?

Probably pretty stupid. Before the conversation was ended, he had to wonder out loud what anyone had against him.

Here's a clue, dude. No one knew you were cheap and stupid before you opened your mouth. Now that we know, you're the target of the complaint.

For the record, I don't charge people to use my tools.
