Why be an asshole?

I'm looking around and I'm realizing that the reason I don't post as often as I'd like to here is that stating an opinion always has the possibility of getting a smartass, holier than thou response. Why do people do this?I understand that when you have information that someone else does not, it feels empowering to be able to fill in the blanks but why are people so quick to assume someone else is wrong in favor of their own presumption?This doesn't just have to do with this board or any other for that matter.Are we so consumed by our passions, our wrangling to get to the top of the totum pole (whatever that is, if it exists) that we're willing to step all over a stranger's feelings for a feeling of validity?For me, regarding the dj/producer scene in particular, the heart of this has to do with intense competition. The more confident you feel about your knowledge/business compared to others, the better equipped you may feel to tackle the competition.Is this just insecurity masked, once again, as bravado? Shouldn't we understand that the competition is a fact and that we're not all going to be going down in the history books for our respective work? Shouldn't we just get over ourselves and concentrate on making things better in general so true talent can come through and flourish? You know, "standing on the shoulders of giants" and all that.I understand some of your problems with people asking for mp3 clips and whatnot but geez does it really hurt you to see someone post asking for something so insignificant? Is it really so much fun being an asshole that you're willing to encroach on someone else's exploration/learning?Just some thoughts.

What gives you a right to free mp3 clips?
As for the other part, I'm admittedly a smartass. I mean no harm
When I first starting come around here, sometime before my listed "join" date, I figured it was just "hazing," but I would say the there's more negativitiy than positivity as a whole -- but it's a close race.
Still, it's not a "clicky" here as it could be and there are a lot of nice folks, and the amount of ::knowledgedropped:: is unsurpassed.
ditto.
Go to LIMEWIRE!!!!

Good thing you're not from Texas either, Rock.
And Chappuh, could you please refrain from using such foul language in the future? It offends this community's delicate sensibilities.

Please be serious, dude.
Instead of just popping up out of the blue on an established forum--having contributed nothing--tawmbout "I don't like the way you express yourselves," why not just find a forum that does match your temperament?
wait do you mean....

Who is the "fruit of the loom appologist"?
Young Phonics.
How did you come to be in a position to hassle the boy regarding his undergarments, such that he felt the need to justify his choice?
