Elitist wtf-inc wank
Small but pretentious: palmer_kun on wtf-inc makes a post about Frank the LJ goat peeing.

People joke about it, and palmer_kun gets a bit high and mighty about portals, but it's not wanky until _staralfur_(his userinfo is highly amusing; I recommend a perusal) shows up with a post entitled "pointless" in which he says, "This community is officially a notch, intellectually, below High Times magazine."

People call "hypocracy" when he says he's just joined yesterday, and ask for examples of quality communities on LJ, which he then lists. Palmer_kun and other wtf-inc-ers are less than impressed with his list, which includes a rating community and a former rating community.

_staralfur_ comes back with "I'm not elite you just suck," a post that says, "I could come up with 40 if I wanted. The number ain't important. Inane? Don't understand? You're either stymied by language & art or just ignorant. Work on that." Regarding the rating community, he says to palmer_kun, "It's not overly arrogant & is filled with people teeming to give you recommendations if you don't succeed at getting in (which you wouldn't)."

Palmer_kun says, "You ever consider that I just don't like the crap you're passing off as 'art'? Everyone's definition of good varies. You think it's all 'deep' and 'quality'. I think it's inane and pointless.

Not overly arrogant?
So you ADMIT that it's arrogant to begin with! You're off to a good start."


Other people chime in (rastmin just posted, "OK, fuck off then, see if we care"), but it seems to be primarily between those two and relatively short.
