Those are guides for people who are learning to drive. They are
designed not to require any particular mechanical skill or co-ordination.

Firth, there is something seriously wrong with you. No one likes you
because of the way you speak to them. Get some help.
Mike G spoke to you decently and deserves more respect.

<shrug> I find Steve perfectly helpful and intelligent.

Sure, he doesn't suffer fools gladly. Maybe that's why there seems to be
such a high degree of correlation between the pool of people who don't
like him, and the pool of fools?

Intelligent!?

I've worked with top scientists who were absolutely charming people.

Intelligent people do not speak to others like he does.

The sort of abuse that comes out of his mouth, you hear from lowlife.

In what role? Experimental subject?


Go one, name one or two. This should be good for a laugh. Especially
since the only role you could have played in science is as a cleaner or
as a cheap replacement for a chimp.

> Intelligent people do not speak to others like he does.

quite mild compared to many intelligent people who have no time for
fuckwits.

The sort of drool that comes out of your mouth one gets from molluscs.
