You haven't succeeded in humiliating me, but if you're laughing, fine, the world can use more of that. Of course, your style is on par with me making "inbred prisoner" jokes... the idea of which doesn't even amount to a "cheap laugh" and just falls short at "totally lame."

If I were to go onto Mountain Project and ask "what do you think of XXX cams?" I'd get two-dozen opinions from the peanut gallery to sift through - garbage. But if someone came along who said, "I climb at such and such level and I love/hate said cams," I wouldn't think, "what a douche," I'd think, "oh, this guy might know what he's talking about, I'll consider his opinion".

I do find it interesting that you feel so strongly Australian. While I am American and am undoubtedly heavily influenced by my culture, I don't think of myself as a slave to it... I certainly am in the small minority as compared to the predominant opinions, values, and lifestyle in my own country. Maybe that's why I can't see how attempting to humiliating anyone for a laugh could possibly be funny to anyone but a moron.
