I'm an IT consultant by trade who uses his interest in World War II and proximity to a branch of the National Archives as a stress break by researching and posting documents.
"The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it."

That is a good line. It has only been since I first got online that I have noticed a related phenomenon. The one I am talking about is that people will argue for post after post, defending some BS statement, but "can't be bothered" to go look at any reference a person might post that refutes it. And they take the time to be quite rude in their refusal, using phrases like "I can't be ar*ed" to try and appear polite.
I don't want everyone to do it,,,,,,,but, it makes things very relaxing to just give up and stop typing details that "experts" "dunt bleeve in"
