suffering fools

I started writing something and then I realized that I really only had two points:

  1. If you believe that your thoughts or your taste or your experience is intrinsically better because fewer people share it, you are wasting your time talking to me. 
  2. This does not apply to facts, which are not generally categorized as better or worse and also do not change in relation to the number of people who share them. 

 I mean, I can go into details? I've probably got a thousand words rattling around in here, as usual. Sometimes I realize that I'm building up to a whole rant and that probably you agree with me anyway so I just thought I'd make a note of it.
