*suddenly takes note of this girl's obsession with vikings… most of whom wield very large sharp axes, spears and blades*
Oh… right…
I'm glad to see this thread has come to life at least. Must be a lot of "know it alls" out there. I try to have patience with them, but sometimes they continue to stick to their viewpoint… even if you dump evidence right in front of them that disproves it. So… in one ear and out the other. :)
Blunt objects are nearly as fun as point ones. And blunt ones tend to be too heavy for me to weild.

Unforunately Ozone, I cannot partake in the free Vegemite you're offering…
because…
I think it tastes like Hairy old Man.

I'm a bit of a know-it-all when it comes to certain subjects that I really enjoy or know about, like Norse Mythology, Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Native Title Law, and art… But sometimes I'm really stubborn and am like: "WELL I KNOW THE ANSWER AND YOU DON'T."
And someone will display material that blows my argument out the window, I'll look at it critically and say: "YOU CAN'T TRUST SUCH RUBBISH PRINTED IN BOOKS/ON THE WEB/FROM THE TEAHCHER MOUTH!"
Then I look silly. But I'm getting better at it, but if you want a Know-It-All, you should meet my brother. Doesn't budge on any subject, happens to be an expert on all things and is often very rude about it. He's like if Ozone, Bravo and Isukun had a baby.
heh. I knew a girl one time who was a "know-it-all". You know how I short-circuited her mind?
I just played along like a "man-slave". I kept addressing her as "ma'am" or "miss" or "goddess" and literally bowing before her or something. I even went as far as offering to lick her shoes in public so everyone will know who is the goddess or something…
That or saying something to the effect of like that annoying villain sidekick who keeps on saying "yes boss, you're correct!!!"

Drove her crazy. lol!
sounds like something a know it all would say… youre in the right thread i guess.
also sounds kinda creepy. because it is.
—- oz stop giving him ideas. productplacement none of that! none of that! ignore the man behind that curtain!
On DD the biggest Know-it-alls are Ozoneocean, Bravo1102 and Isukun.
Interesting list, but I can tell you there is one name on there that doesn't surprise me in the least… ;)
Personally, I break my "know-it-all's" into two categories: credentialed know-it-all's and non-credentialed know-it-all's.
You probably wouldn't want to take my advice on the non-credentialed know-it-all's. I have a feeling I'm even more immature about it than ayes due to the fact that I end up making enemies with them. I can't help it though, when I'm talking to them I tend to end up mocking them. And it's worse because know-it-all's are slow to pick up on that sort of thing (everything is taken seriously). In the end, it just turns into a giant ragefest, which you don't want.
Credentialed know-it-all's however? I've run into hundreds of them in college. The only thing you can do there is to stay quiet and nod your head. Seriously, their mind is in a whole other plane of existence and you'd be powerless to fight them let alone know how to get there.
I was playing an MMORPG once when I met a seasoned player who was insulting new players… to the effect of telling them to leave as the game was for "pros" only.
Ahhh, the classic elitist.
In games they're usually easily handled. I usually poke fun at them by picking out the flaws in their rants (since in the MMOs I've played I've been around the block once or twice) or simply making fun of their mom. .. Yeah, I know. "Yo mama" jokes are the lowest common denominator in terms of jokes but in my experience, they usually get elitists super pissed. I mean they're trying to lecture me on why I'm bad and why they're so awesome and here I am not only refusing them the satisfaction of a reaction but I'm making fun of their mom.
Real life though isn't nearly as cut and dry. I just attempt to avoid those kinds of people. It'll save you a lot of headaches.
"Eheheh, that sounds hilarious, I wonder what it would look li-"
DEAR JESUS IT WILL BE THE DEATH OF US ALL.

I hang around friends who are know-it-alls or are very very stubborn, its their way or the high way, and it pisses them off to know end when I prove them wrong or don't agree with them. Mind you, only two of us are major know-it-alls, me and my friend Ellen, and we clash the most about it.
My brother is a genius with a god complex, the most basic kind of know-it-all. I haven't had the luxury of just "walking away" from that relationship over the years, we're family. So I've learned to deal with it.
Poor fellow has such superiority issues, at times it's really grating. I've learned not to really emotionally invest myself much in what he says. Oftentimes he'll show a complete disregard for others.
With the super intelligent types it's better to just smile while they are looking, and roll your eyes while they are not.* We all have flaws and shortcomings, but this kind of person has a harder time hiding them is all. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother. I've even learned to enjoy listening to him talk over the years. But I don't really pin my hopes on him stooping down to mingle with us common homo sapiens. People that are intelligent and arrogant cannot be cured by others, so don't waste your time trying.
As for the other kind of know-it-all (the stupid and superior one's), give them a firm rebuff and walk away. Racism is a classic (though very extreme) example of this kind of know-it-all behavior. I believe a false sense of superiority can be cured in a person, but I don't believe it's necessary most of the time.
There's a man I used to work with who was dumber than a bag of bricks. I'm not trying to flatter my own ego here, he really was just good ol' country stoopid. But he had such a sense of entitlement it was incredible. God forbid you contradict this man. In his own eyes, he was Chuck Norris.
His kind of know-it-all ego was repulsive, yes. But it wasn't necessarily harmful. In his case his co-workers mostly just walked away from him in disgust.
*(I meant this in the least passive-aggresive way possible.)
Apparently, another proven method is to send the KnowItAlls over to Comic Fury and trash that site…..as was the case with Filthy Assistant and MrWeatherby.
you constantly harassed female posters, homosexuals, and made endless disparaging remarks about people that weren't white
you got banned for once again accusing everyone who came from drunk duck (mind you, normal people not asshole problem users like me) for "throwing around their gayness" in part of your un ending attacks on people who don't fit your idea of a straight white male, or white submissive female who nay has a though of her own.
oh and called this place a shithole numerous times making it incredibly ironic that you have decided to plant your god-complex bullshit here
I have no idea of their other aliases…..nom de plume…..nom de guerre…….
…and, yeah, I got banned defending myself from their constant onslaught of cheap shots….that went way beyond snarky!!
You complain about cheap shots yet you're the one who's always making them. You got banned for your terrible attitude and trashy comments(and I imagine making 6 thinly veiled advertisement threads despite being asked not to sped it up) Stop blaming others when you're the one with the problem.
And it's so ridiculous that you're here after you kept going on and on about how much you hate DD and that it's filled with sociopaths and gays.

It was SO efficient I packed up and moved here.
I'm still here, there just hasn't been any reason to actually post until now. Over at CF though we just ban our know-it-alls and send them over here. It's a vicious cycle. The Know-it-All Trade, as it were.

I love how he talks behind their back expecting them not to read it, even though he knows full well they came from Drunk Duck.
I find it funny that he came to a website to get away from 'those DDers' and not only do myself, weatherby, and marlowe post but mr.lostman(fuego) is here too.
Weatheby and Filthy Assistant have just moved to Comic Fury, and the big city couldn't be any more bizarre to the duo. Watch at the two get in all sorts of wacky misunderstandings and shenanigans with their offbeat next-door neighbors Mr.Lostman and MadTarnsman! Coming this Fall to NBC!

"IN THE SEASON FINALE OF LOSTMAN AND TARNSMAN TRAGEDY STRIKES! Tarnsman and Lostman are moving out of the apartment! The worst part?
HOW ARE FILTHY AND WEATHERBY GONNA PAY THE RENT?!?!
Find out on the new episode this sunday!"
The final scene sees Filthy and Weatherby scraping the bottom of empty bean cans in a cold apartment, sitting atop crates, the only furniture they have left. "Filthy, we're going be alright, aren't we?" Weatherby asks.
"I'm not sure," says Filthy. The candle between them flickers once more before a cool gust of air extinguishes it. Fade to black.

But fret not fans!
Sitting on their crates, Filthy and Weatherby are beginning to accept it's the end, when crashing through the door…
"IT'S MARLOWE!" They both shout.
"Did you guys miss me?" He says, "I got rich in hollywood and I'm here to take you two wacky oddjobs to the big city! And this is my manager, Skullbie!"
Marlowe, Skullbie, Filthy, and Weatherby hit the big city in "Marlowe and Friends."
EDIT: IT'S LIKE SEINFELD FOR THE NEW AGE! Skullbie is Elaine by default, the rest of you choose your roles.
