I have found that those who are laser focused on spelling and grammar tend to lack a proclivity for novel thought. As such when confronted with new ideas, rather than dismissing the idea based on some sort of logical flaw they dismiss it based on superficial surface level details.

I have found that those who find other to lack a proclivity for novel thought due to obeying spelling and grammar and promoting the correct usage to be insufferable arseholes.

As such, I dismiss their dismissals as the ravings of a fool.

"Some more words to make this seem more profound a thought than it is."

Dismissals due to minor details about the medium or the speaker themselves isn't intellectual inquiry, it's a personality contest. I'm looking for truth even if it means the people I don't like are right.

Parent probably meant "others" and "ravings of fools" since they are plurals. But maybe that was just an exercise by which to prove their point.

He was poking fun at your annoying prose, lol
