It's probably a topic for another thread, but it's been covered so many
times that it probably isn't worth it. There are two ways to deal with
Sheldon:
1. Killfile him (or just don't read his posts if you don't have a
killfile).
2. Take him how he is. Glean the knowledge that he gives, and ignore
the insults, profanity and his refusal to admit that he is ever wrong.
It depends on your tolerance level, and more importantly, your
personality. I have chosen #2. I don't respond to his crap, because he
can do a ten times better job at being nasty than I *ever* could.
