Know what drives me crazy?

First of all, let it be known that one of my favorite things is “discussing”.  Discussion in general makes me happy.  Also, something I really respect about some people is when they opt-out of a discussion topic because they lack information on the topic, instead of choosing blind ignorance.

So, what drives me crazy?  It drives me crazy when somebody not only doesn’t know anything about the topic they are discussing, but then adimantely defends their point - and then they even try arguments that are COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the topic at hand, but they wouldn’t know that because they know nothing about the topic anyway.

Let me give you an extreme example, for the sake of demonstration.

me: “Having a 4GB install for After Effects is bloated and unecessary”

them: “I disagree, because the Yankees are really good”

me: “Um.. I’m not sure the two are related…”

them: “Well clearly they are, because doesn’t A-Rod choose release candidates for AE?”

me: “You know what, nevermind.”
