I read the comment as being the whole group going to the activity and talking about it afterward, again as a group. A “gym club” doesn’t necessarily “brag amongst themselves” about their activities; they just talk about the activity.

an exclusive club would provide an incentive to accomplish things

> ah, yes. a bragging club

Book clubs tend to be organized around sharing thoughts about the books the participants have read, and I never heard of those being referred to as bragging hotspots.

simply ingesting an inexpensive consumer product is not much to brag about. maybe they're talking about art

Your broad-stroke condescending attitude towards others make you sound like you wear a fedora. If you have insecurities to deal with, don't deal with them by trying to drag others into your personal issues.

Broad-stroke? Surely you have an actual point to make that isn't tone-policing. I get that you're just dumping your raw thoughts onto the internet but your non-sequiturs and inapt analogies really hurt discussion.

I'm here to counteract the rampant muddled thinking that goes on here. Nobody else is willing to point out obviously flawed arguments, so consider it a service. (Hell, in the other thread, people think that grocery stores are pulling in 43 percent gross margins. Apple, Inc. would be jealous!)

Yes, and I did. Read the message. It's clear and straight to the point.

Nobody cares about your narcissistic tangent. Hijack someone else's thread.

also that's the gayest tone policing I've seen in years

More like a writer’s club. No point showing up without pages.
