Look, don’t take this the wrong way, but if I really needed to prove something about my self-worth, I certainly wouldn’t be doing it here. Seriously, having an argument here is like playing checkers with a four year old.

Really? Like playing checkers with a four-year-old?

And yet you’ve spent literally your entire day doing just exactly that. Well, if not a pathetic need to prove your self-worth, there must be some deep-seated psychological drive that is motivating you to forgo a job, household chores, a family, the opposite sex, fresh air and sunshine and all of the other necessary or pleasurable things that life has to offer. Speaking for myself, I could play a game or two of checkers with a four-year-old, but I couldn’t do it all day long. I certainly couldn’t neglect my entire life to do it.

Maybe you’re just more into four-year-olds than is common? There’s got to be some EXTREMELY important reason why you keep doing this.
