The net seems to get more and more full of what I call chuds (cannibalistic, humanoid, underground dwellers). These people tend to be highschoolers or college students that have received so many wedgies that they take out their frustrations on the rest of us.

I see them when I play games, and I really see them when you see a news item on some of these tech sites. That's where htey really come out. Doesn't matter what the news item is, they'll just come on and rip on it.

A chud usually has no actual skills themselves. They just like to put things down.

They're the d00d from IRC that tells people who crappy some program is because they tried it for 5 seconds 3 years ago. They're the weenie on a given site that tells people that htey should use some unrelated piece of software instead.

They're the "l33t" gamer who uses some simplistic rush strategy in an online game and calls everyone a "noob" who objects to having a game that took 20 minutes just to set up be settled in 3 minutes.

I'm pretty thankful that there are very few chuds that hang out here. But oye, they really annoy me.

I used to feel sorry for geeks in highschool. But now, I think more of them need more wedgies, it's the last night in real life that their obnoxious behavior will have physhical consequences.
