Yes I was - but I think lower-class oiks like yourself need to be put in their place.

But your obsession with rigid labeling traps you here; there is no way I could be defined as lower class or as an oik by your own standards. I have a middle class job, live in a middle-class house, had a middle class education and was raised by equally middle class parents who were themselves raised by middle class parents. I've more often been labelled posh than the opposite.

Probably in an alcoholic stupor somewhere. Son.

Surely a middle-class well educated chap like yourself was brought up with basic knowledge of how to act like a civilised human being. If not, perhaps you're just a low-class oik?

narcissistic personality disorders

Inside the narcissistic personality

Narcissistic personality disorders seem rampant among computer professionals, as here we see some major traits of people with narcissistic personalities, characterized by strong feelings of being ashamed of themselves all-the-while presenting a grandiose front.

The old saying "He is a legend in his own mind" describes to-a-tee someone with narcissistic personality disorder and these types of weirdoes are super-common in the computer science and information technology industries where geeks and misfits can become zillionaires, despite their crippling mental problems.

Good self-diagnosis - what you going to do about it?

For the same reason walking down a street shouting "oi fattie" at total strangers is twattish... you're not doing it for the purpose of stating fact or imparting truth but merely to insult and make yourself feel good in comparison.

Why is calling a cretin a cretin arrogant? or twattish? Does the truth hurt?
