No idea how I ended up on this thread but here’s the wisdom:
Small people talk about other people.
Regular people talk about current events.
Real people talk about ideas.
Belittling someone for their hobby is an indication of a person being (or feeling) small, themselves. A rain barrel when it is full of water, does not ring when struck, as it serves its purpose quietly.
Food for thought.
Edit: haha, you guys are proving my point with the downvotes. Keep on’ keepin on.
No. The point of the idea was to discuss ideas (and perhaps dissuade others from engaging in whatever was happening in OP’s thread) – essentially, advising others to ignore such comments when they encounter them in social media.
We’re already above the lowest level of name-calling by just talking about it, though I think a few people did respond with insults.

That’s not wisdom. Those are gross generalizations for idiots and assholes to feel smug about themselves.
And this is not talking about other people?
