On the critical thinking scale where:
1 (volumetric-inclined bozo spammer)...2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 (critical thinker/analyser)
I generally sniff out numbers 1 - 4 (I classify as generic dullards/bottom feeders) fairly easily and tend to go glassy eyed over their predictable brain strain when they try to venture into 4+ scale environments.
Reasonable people can figure out where I put some forum "participants" on this scale themselves.
I likewise dont look kindly upon people that park themselves in a public establishment (a forum literally being a latin OG type of it) and proceed to try to hog all the food and attention.
Something (distasteful) is eating them inside to produce that level of cringey boorish behaviour.
If they are tolerated by the head honchos for whatever reason, I quickly make my way to (and stay at) the table furthest from them...in interest of the other qualitative friends, patrons and more civil general people-watching.
All in the interests of my plate of food not getting sullied by their sloppy spittle antics lacking basic table manners and etiquette.... and in the interest of my decibel + cringe tolerance from their karaoke mic hogging.
Not to mention what kind of boor they provably have been and are in much more "lax" establishments.
Basic upbringing and character matters a lot in the professional, critical realm.
You either have it or you don't.
