Dude, I'll warn you once. Don't get all 'citation needed' in a conversation someone else pointed out to you that happened a month ago. Smiley faces don't hide shit.

I will fuck you up.

So let's start over again, as if this were a choose-your-own-adventure book.

"You are traipsing through an online community to show off your coding project. You encounter someone who professes to have an understanding of the basis of your design. Do you:

A) Ask him to elaborate so that you might learn something?

or

B) Snipe at his month-old statements in an attempt to find a reason to discount what he has to say?"
