      His flavor is more "wisdom is chasing you, but you are faster" so I'm chalkin that up to being a popular nigerian idiom; first time I heard him use it it took me right out

          I think the fact that got removed kinda underlines why I like the 'wisdom is chasing you' idiom. It's a FANTASTIC way to get at the same idea without having to make it an ableist thing i.e. the difference between calling someone "r/" and just calling them willfully ignorant.

            I completely agree. Didn't realise the problematic aspects until it got removed

          Reposting it might just get your comment removed too. I'm glad we have a passionate poster in our ranks but they may want to chill out on the intelligence insults a bit or else I expect more comments to go. I had to edit at least one that was making a reference to Canadian health care that was DEFINITELY gonna get got. Sorry Bureaucrat if you're reading this, not trying to tone police, just save our skins. Please never stop posting.

            I thank you for your service! No tone policing perceived, I have deleted it and edited intelligence based insults. I will do better. Care-Comrade

                Most users only lasted a couple days before going back to their old accounts but the hive mind is now stronger for it.
