Why do we do this?

Grail, that's a legit question. And since I'm guilty of a flame just this morning, here's my only answer. He pisses me off. The thing that makes me mad is not that he's wrong, or even that he posts incorrect answers as if they're gospel.

The thing that makes me mad is the answer to your second question. Why is he here? For fun. He enjoys causing trouble and he enjoys confusing the newer people who come here for help. That's what pisses me off. He gets enjoyment out of hurting the newer refs who come here.

He needs to be called out for this. I usually ignore him and let Jurassic handle it. But occasionally, it just needs to be pointed out to the community at large that he is an ignorant and troublesome idiot.
