    perhaps! I can be a judgemental asshole. But I also figured after the first dozen other people downvoted them I’d at least mention it.

    edit: no, looking at their post history, I think they have a fine grasp on english, just not basic physics or chemistry.

        so you jumped to assume I was the asshole because you lacked complete data.

        I see there’s lots of that going around so I’ll try to treat you with the kindness and respect you deserve.

        UNLIKE MR “Hydrogen is made from water. It too can be made from solar panels.”

        tsk tsk tsk :D

          I don’t see anywhere that I assumed you were an asshole. I merely pointed out one possibility why something so clearly wrong could have been said that way. And you yourself acknowledged that you hadn’t checked to see if that made sense. And now you’re jumping to conclusions about the motivations of others again, rather than asking them if that’s their motivation. If there’s a pattern, I’d say it’s that one. And even there, jumping to conclusions doesn’t make you an asshole, but your response after doing so might.

          …and all of that was written while I ignored the emoticon at the end, so reading more into context is maybe something I should do. ;)
