Are you saying that coldtea is a tech hipster desperately signalling for the purpose of self-aggrandizement? How kind. Is a direct insult to a real person more civil than a fantasy assault on an inanimate object? Because I'm not sure of the rules.
Dismissing people as hardly worth a hacker's time is pretty self-aggrandizing, yes. Invoking a nebulous definition of hacker as a guideline for appropriate behavior is about as hip as it gets; following a trend for the sake of its title.
