  • It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

    Don’t forget about the last part of the quote. In my opinion it could be there most important part. That is the reason to argue, because we want to show how ridiculous their arguments are to third parties.











  • "Ed is the standard text editor."
    
    Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:
    
    golem> ed
    
    ?
    help
    ?
    ?
    ?
    quit
    ?
    exit
    ?
    bye
    ?
    hello? 
    ?
    eat flaming death
    ?
    ^C

    Note the consistent user interface and error reportage.  Ed is
    generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
    the novice with verbosity.
    
    "Ed is the standard text editor."
    
    Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
    
    ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA!  ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
    AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES!  ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
    BODILY FLUIDS!!  ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!  ED MAKES THE SUN
    SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
    
    When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
    help screens and cursor positioning code!  I just want an EDitor!!
    Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
    ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
    
    TEXT EDITOR.
    
    When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
    "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi?  No.  Emacs?  Surely
    you jest.  They chose the most karmic editor of all.  The standard.
    
    Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on.  If you
    are an idiot, you should use Emacs.  If you are an Emacs, you should
    not be vi.  If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION.  THE
    SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
    FAITHLESS.  DO NOT GIVE IN!!!  THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
    



  • This one is actually easy to parse. I’m assuming baby gronk is Gronkowski’s kid. I’m not big into American football but it was almost impossible to not hear about Gronk a few years ago. Normally drip is fashion or style so drip king in this context would probably mean ability on the field. Rizz is just short for charisma, so they are asking of he’s just being hyped by whoever that last person they refer to. I’m not sure who that is and I don’t think it’s really worth looking up. Baby gronk is still a child, of course this is all manufactured hype.
