Why are some of the people on FoRK such obnoxious a-holes?
The answer is in the belief that The Truth Shall Set You Free. No matter what form that truth may take. Thus, the holder of the truth gets to select the medium through which to disperse it. Being correct on FoRK is more important than being politically correct, being political, being tactful, or even being nice. Being right is basically a license to be as brutally honest as one wants to be. Arrogant? You bet. Elitist? Sure. FoRK is what’s left once you’ve resolved what’s right. • Come again? Just tell me, what *is* a “FoRK”? It’s like a pitchFoRK, but without the pitch. Remember: it’s not just a state of being; it has a motto, too. • Okay, I’ll bite. What is the FoRK motto?
