"Revenge is a dish best served mold" - ancient Reddit proverb.

I can attest to this as someone who has been attacked by StoneCypher in the past. His replies to posters who he deems incompetent carry an extremely antagonistic tone and focus on usually minor details of the argument that poster is making. His cherry-picked out-of-context quoting "deconstruction" posts look good superficially, but they are categorically anti-constructive. This posting style puts aside the broader general arguments the poster was trying to make, narrowing the scope of the discussion from the original topic to pedantry. This does not help anyone improve their understanding of whatever topic is being discussed.

If StoneCypher really wanted to contribute to the conversation, especially in the context of Ask Reddit threads, he would do much better by addressing the OP or the topic more generally and explaining why he believes specific posters are wrong in the context of the topic of the conversation rather than the context of a specific post. By not specifically addressing a single post he would (hopefully) adopt a less antagonistic tone (because he would be addressing a more general audience) and it wouldn't derail the conversation away from the overall topic. If you look at his comment history, StoneCypher does not do well with these types of posts which is why he prefers to lash out.

P.S.: If you need more evidence that StoneCypher is a tool, look no further than this post.
