One frequent annoyance in my life is people who will begin and engage in an argument and then refuse to listen to any counter-arguments, or call their protagonist (in this, and most cases, myself) 'pretentious' rather than listen to what I'm saying. Ad hominem, it's known as.

The other side to that is smart-arse know-nothings who insist on repeating, verbatim, some criticism of a minutae of protocol or grammar I may have made, refusing to concede the thrust of a hurried argument as superior.

Ultimately though, it's me that's the prick for engaging in such things, so to answer the question of the thread - yes, my continuous expression of cleverness is futile.

You're more obscene than the secret museum.
