There's a difference between recalcitrant learners and ignorant
megalomaniacs pushing agendas.  I'm all for the former, but trying to
win over the latter is a waste of time.  It's like trying to have a
rational discussion with theo deraddt.

I'm sorry, but after *two years* of Choate and his antics, I'm just not
willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt anymore.  The
ignorance, arrogance, posturing, and every post ended by a one-line
insult to either someone's intelligence or `tone' is just counter
productive.  He's been around here a long time, and his posts still
indicate he doesn't really know what's going on, but it's for want of
listening, not lack of people trying to help him.  I'm sorry, but I'm
not going to waste my time on someone who can't find anything better to
do than insult me in return for the time I devote to patiently trying
to discuss things with him.  Hell, the guy can't even figure out that
cat and cp do roughly the same thing.

I've even started filtering him out, but I still read his drivel in
what other's quote.  Oh well.
