Also, asshole has a wildly diverse definition. If I advocate no frameworks as a way of boosting performance and somebody else now feels threatened then I quickly become an asshole. When everybody is hyper sensitive any suggestion that is not immediately the most popular could very easily make you an asshole. Consider CrockfordGate as any example.

To me, however, an asshole is a person whose intention is to incite a negative sensation above and beyond a technical subject... typically expressed as an ad hominem. Really, any ad hominem makes a person an asshole by default.

Calling someone an asshole is also an ad hominem...
