One of my observations on the net is that the better known I become, the more likely someone will flame me and try to explain how much more they know than I do in one of my professional areas of expertise.
Whether this be the game industry, business, or PC software development, I increasingly will find some guy on a forum who will smugly try to tell me how much smarter than they are than I am.
Now, maybe they are smarter than I am. But strangely, what I suspect is more likely is that they think that if they can knock me down a peg that this somehow raises them up.
