Maybe that is true of some home bakers, but here in my home, there are
several different kinds of bread made.

I simply need a lot more experience. The problem is that for me bread
making is done out of necessity and not as a hobby. Maybe I will get
turned on with this sourdough thing I am playing around with.

You guys are too elitist for someone like me. I try to tell you like
it is, and you use it to fluff up your egos.

Shame on you.

Why don't you and the others take a step back and observe just how
overbearing, pompous, condescending and aloof you are. You have likely
run off all those who are not like you, which amplifies the provincial
attitude contributing to the psychopathology here.

You are not alone in this pathology - it is present on other forums.
But there is one thing I have observed in the 8 years I have
participated in Usenet and that's that the forums dedicated to an
"art" as opposed to a "science" tend to me more like this.

The forums dedicated to hard core computer topics, like networking and
firewalls, do not treat the uninitiated anywhere as rudly as you
people do. The experts treat each person as a peer and they try to
educate them.

Whenever the occasional troll attempts to force the forum off track,
he is run off by completely ignoring him. Those forums are the least
elitist of any on Usenet. As the science content lessens the forums
slip into a condition very similar to the one being manifest here.

The pathology in operation here bears a strong resemblance to the same
kind of elitist attitude seen in academia among the faculty. And it
creates the same kind of jungle atmosphere too. The net effect is that
people who do not care to engage in that kind of pathology leave the
forum. That just exacerbates the problem.

If you adopt the attitude that you are the Master and everyone else is
Nothing, then all you are are the Master of Nothing.

Foolish Bob,

You show your ignorance yet again. I am a frequenter of 'hard-core'
computer forums - especially forums for Linux beginners, POSIX thread
programming, C++ programming among others. These forums are much
ruder to beginners than this one. Mike Avery, Samartha, Roy Basan, to
name a few, spend a lot of time trying to help beginners get better.
You would be better to heed their advice instead of trying to show
your superiority.

You are blinded by your ignorance. I would bet a good bottle of
scotch that you are a pimply faced 20-something social outcast with
nothing better to do than come on Usenet forums and start trolling.
You aren't worth my time.

Good day,

Anvah

p.s: First time I've heard of a pastry chef who doesn't know how to
make croissants. Are you a master Kung-Fu warrior as well?

But even so, what does your verbose and lustful scorn tell about you, do
you think? Better live and let live.

You would lose that bet.
