Option, couched in Dave's bitter sarcasm is good advice. Don't be so condescending towards people. Even if it is warranted, most people will just stop listening to you when they feel they're being attacked. This isn't logical on their part, it's just how people are. It doesn't matter how brilliant or right you are. If you condescend, they're just going to go on the defensive.

Man, this is brilliantly written. Although I'm not sure how I feel about the sentiment, I really like the way you worded this. I certainly hope you choose to stick around!
