I'll Get Further

I'm going to go teach the neighbor's dog to program a VCR.

It will be simpler.

I am reminded, often, why I did not pursue a career in teaching.

Teachers are not allowed to say, "No, you fucking idiot," when they get frustrated that the student doesn't want to learn.

It's not constructive.

I've never been good at conveying what I know to others.

It's frustrating watching them not understand and being unable to rephrase it so they will.

I fail to communicate.

This makes it harder to spot when the reader is actively refusing to understand.

But when every interaction leads to frustration, over and over, I wonder why they still come here.

I know I will be happier if they stop.

The MO is to be contrarian here in the comments, act like they almost grasp a topic, then run to their own blog and mob of worshipers to bask in the glow of their "OMG you're so right and McThag is SOOOOO wrong!" adoration. 

I watched this pattern repeat a couple times and haven't bothered checking their page for what they're saying for a long time.  Even if they announce in a comment they're taking their ball home.

He's been banned from commenting here before during COVID.

I think that unbanning him was a mistake.  The worshipers coming here to berate me should have been the last straw.
