Nine times out of ten when I see the term "butthurt" (or the more politically charged "snowflake") it's being used by someone who has mistaken disagreeing with something they said with being offended by what they said and is projecting their own sensitivity about having their ideas rejected onto other people.

"Mindless"?!?!

"Mindless"!!?!??!?!??!?!!??

Son, if you put half as much thought into your online purchases as I put into my trolling, you wouldn't have pre-ordered a VCS.

The Experts Have Spoken... You're No Expert

The "Atari" you're so vehemently defending isn't the Atari that made your beloved 2600. That Atari vanished years ago, replaced by a French company called Infogrames that bought the rights to the name Atari and started using it about ten years ago.

But I'm no expert. I write about the Atari 2600 for a national retro video game publication and have a collection of over 360 games, including one I developed, but I no longer own my original 2600 so I humbly defer to your expertise on this subject.

Have you ever had to deal with one of those guys who can't go two minutes without reminding you why he thinks you should think he's important? What am I saying? Of course you have. You're on the internet right now.
