"boomer", as an insult, describes a pattern of behavior and/or a mindset often attributed to the baby boomer generation, but not restricted to it.

(you could have left out your little jab. it adds nothing to the conversation except flavoring your comment with smugness)

Fair enough, though shouldn't insults have been left out entirely?

It's interesting what is considered acceptable and what isn't.

  • There's a difference between insulting the richest man to ever live and another poster on a message board

    • There is a difference in moderation policy. There is no difference in the intellectual poverty demonstrated by the purveyor of such insults. If anything, the opposite is true, since a target-rich subject like Musk requires no hyperbole to ridicule.
