  Lol Trevor you haven't ever worked in the commercial art world have

  I never offer opinions when I’m drunk. I’m just a guy and any idea that I 
  am better than the rest of humanity, is untrue.

    You see, that's just it. If you belittled people in a live, in-person 
    group of a similar nature, you'd have been sent packing long ago or someone 
    would have cleaned your clock (for which you have a lineup on this list). 
    That anyone finds online discussion an opportunity to be flip with others' 
    emotions is unfortunate, and I've certainly been guilty of this myself. But, 
    for it to monopolize your persona, as you say, such that you need to declare 
    that you're not really like this in person, is a significant measure of 
    disrespect to anyone looking to this forum as a community for learning. As 
    an educator and technology integration specialist, I believe that learning 
    is the cornerstone of any social network. Having an alternative, or 
    enlightened point of view is of great benefit. However, to be dismissive of, 
    or to attack, perspective is terribly counterproductive.

I've met one 
    member of this forum in person. He was a class act in person, and is a class 
    act online as well. Your wealth of knowledge, experience, and work is of 
    tremendous value to this community. Your panoramic work is of great interest 
    to me. Unfortunately, your barbed, holier-than-thou veneer makes such a 
    fountain less than potable.

Do you even value online communication? 
    If not, why engage?
