Hmm. Well, one kind of wonders, if they have the mental capacity of a 4 
year old throwing water balloons, does standing there looking adult and 
grumpy, and telling him, "The statistical probability of you 
accomplishing anything useful with this tactic is quite low, especially 
when you can't even throw it far enough, or at the right target.", going 
to get you any place?

Sometimes ridicule is the only weapon you can use against the 
ridiculous, especially if the person in question so badly misunderstands 
the argument and the validity of their own position, that you 
practically have to spell it out like, "You are wrong." = You - 
referring to self, the one I am talking to. Are - what your present 
state is, etc., wrong- not right, incorrect, mistaken, and so on.

When they can funnel 900 idiocies in 30 minutes, and it would take you 2 
hours just to cover how dumb the first one is, by itself... Well, you 
have two choices. 1) call them hosers, or 2) quit your job and spend the 
next 40 years of your life *trying* to tell people at your own 
conventions how wrong they are, knowing that they have a 30+ year head 
start, more money, more people, and more time than you do to spread the 
gibberish.

Frankly, the only real consolation is that, once they are sitting in a 
puddle of mud, complaining they can't stay dry or warm, while an entire 
warehouse of parts you could build a heater from sits 5 feet away from 
them, they will have to come to you to build one. But its small 
consolation, given that you would be, at that point, sitting in the same 
mud puddle, wondering why you let the idiot convince everyone that 
houses where ungodly sins and needed to be torn down.
