I like your new attitude. Your first mistake was having a bad attitude. You see, for Science to be accepted by the general public, you must have the patience to explain it without provoking negative attention. Think of extremist feminists and how they make feminism as a whole look.

I could explain your other mistakes, such as talking to the wrong person, but that's mostly my biggest gripe. People have to want to learn for them to comprehend physics, it cannot be explained in one post or snide comment. But that's what you should have stuck with, instead of making intelligence look like a sad loner with a generic supply of comebacks.

Now, we all have that asshole urge inside of us. But wait to use it until it's right.
