Exactly! 😃

Wondering, if a comeback for OP could be, stating doubt of wiki as credible. Or how to assert in a situation, where a person states, well I've read it, in wiki, it must be true. Addressing the offending speaker on spot, instead of building up resentment, or feeling hurt by another's behavior. As a means, of drawing the line on future behavior?

I am sure, many can state coming accross this type behavior. Must be a diplomatic approach. Sdmn, you are a gamer, I would suspect you're likely to see arrogance in such hobbies, how do you, quelch it from being around you? Not quelch jovial smack talk, but the off putting behavior?
