I think his problem is that he is long-winded and a bit of a blowhard. He has strong opinions on everything, not just on the topics he is an expert in. You can be a master of a few trades, but not everything. Everybody has that one specific school of knowledge or field that they are experts in and can go toe to toe with anybody who challenges them, but he carries himself like he's a master of everything. He has a lot of excellent insights from time to time that have given me a new way of looking at things, but too often his posts are larded up with condescension and pretension that it's just too irritating and obnoxious to read. Most of the time I find myself scrolling past his wall of text to get to the next post.Atom Smasher said:Normally I just let hissy-fit guys fade into the sunset to lick their wounds, but since BB has declared what losers he thinks we are, I feel justified in adding my opinion here.
BB's problem is that he says too much in his posts. He would be better off stating his purpose succinctly, waiting for others to respond, and then adding more. As it is he shoots his entire load at once with over-editorializing, thereby making his points thin and opening himself up for people to reply with differing perspectives, hence making him feel he has his reputation to defend.
It's definitely not cool to slam one's peers and then go storming off, but that's just what some people do when pressured or challenged.
And he has no business calling any of us losers, especially the cuckolded restaurant manager friend of his who is making an HONEST living, even if it doesn't allow for a luxury car or an upscale condo. I clicked on his profile page and found he listed an IM handle of Black17Media. I googled the term to see what that might bring up, since often times people use the same handle across multiple message boards and social media sites. It's enlightening, to say the least. Makes me really question just how much of a success this guy really is in running his own business and how much he really has his sh*t together. Based on what I found, I wouldn't hire him to build my website.
