I'm an avid reader... some people think I'm pretentious if I ever mention a book I read.

How would you react if I walked up to you and started telling you the difference between uniform and pointwise continuity of a function?

I would laugh so hard my belly would ache for days since you already showed on these boards that you do NOT understand what a continuous function is.

You know, I have no problem with stupid people who recognize that they are stupid.

Smart people who recognize that they are smart are fine.

But stupid people who think that they are smart (that means you, BW) really should just go bury themselves and eagerly await the permineralization process.

I am now recalling a thread quite a while back where you, Bad Wigins, argued vehemently that books are bad and people should not read. That post really explained a lot about you and the stuff you write on this board.

Then this post explains a lot about you and why people think you are pretentious. Instead of address the substance of my post, you put on airs. "Bah! You offend my dogmatic faith in bound print media." Believe it or not, not everyone shares your love of books.

I tried sincerely to answer your question and failed, but you have demonstrated the answer to yourself very clearly.

If I recall correctly, you explicitly stated people who read a lot or stupid and that reading is correlated with stupidity. This assertion is hilarious.

Just something to think about, how do you think the people who produce other forms of educational media learned the material?

Bad Wigins do you read on a Kindle or on PDF versions of books? Is it the physical binding that offends you so much? Or is it the content?

Let me guess, you also don't own a television set.

I didn't until recently and only use it to watch movies and a few youtube videos. I do have cable or netflix or anything like that.
