Moο,
As much as I love suomi, I'm not that fond of being insulted by a
suomalainen or anyone else (except by Elina perhaps, but her rear make it
much more bearable). As I said I'm a noob, I don't mind critics and
recommendations on the way I post or on the content of what I post. But the
way you put it is rather unpleasant to say the least, so I'll explain you
how I felt about it: in the first place I was more like: "Minua vituttaa!"
But I'm in another mood now. A suomalinen friend of mine (Anna) told me one
day that Finnish people are much more composed and modest than the
ranskanlainen I was, and she taught me a saying: "Modesty makes beautiful".
I still believe in what she said, I just think that being a bit popular in
the IT area makes you feel a bit too overconfident and critical. "Koulutus:
filosofian kandidaatti, pδδaineena matematiikka..." As you may have
forgotten Berkeley claimed that philosophy was nothing other than the study
of wisdom and truth. I'll give you an A for truth and an F minus for wisdom.
"Docendo disco, scribendo cogito" is your motto isn't it? The more I learn
about you, the more I laugh. Do you ever apply what you preach? or do you
just throw some nice cryptical phrases thinking it'll sound good? Ah, you
are indeed literate, I was afraid you were just some old fashioned math
geezer. I hope all of the FK are not like you. Another time, another place,
I would have been very excited about having a little chat with you but well,
considering whom you really are now, I'll pass. I've got much more
intellectually stimulating things to do right now like sorting my socks. As
well as I am probably an idiot you are most certainly an old fart and I'm
not going to give you the pleasure to bow down before your sorry ass because
you wrote some books about XHTML and other shits. I could have wrote this
little reply in Finnish, in order to prove you that I'm not as stupid as I
seem to be, but it will have taken away the pleasure of knowing that others
non Finnish speaker would read it.
Moο moο juntti, and don't forget: suksi vittuun!
