i like how you call someone whos been on this site for 6 months an elitist. you realize that's not a compliment right? elitist can be considered a synonym for "arrogant prick", which in this case probably isnt that wrong, but feels out of place

No idea where I am on the scale, other than being objectively the best composer on the site.

Did you also see how I said that people who have been on here for over 1 year OMG GET A LIFE. I doubt that's a compliment too. Also this is half satire.

He's arguing for semantics of the term "elitist" rather than arguing if it's a compliment for someone or not.

Elite people (in the term of high status) + ist =/= elitists (term for people who are hypocritical towards things that aren't ___.)


Anyone can get the joke that someone has no life, but elitist needs to be a properly used term since throwing it around can cause a lot of misunderstandings.

A dictionary defines the word 'elite' as: a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.
Or, more generally: the choice part; the best of a class
