Dear Ms. Knowitall

Just because you know some random facts doesn't mean you know everything.
Just because you've experienced some random events doesn't mean you know everything.
Just because you supposedly have a relative in a profession doesn't mean their knowledge rubbed off on you.
Just because you supposedly know someone in a profession doesn't automatically make you a professional too.
Just because you think you know grammar, you think you know best, you think your opinion is fact:

Doesn't mean you know everything.

No one knows everything.
So don't go around acting all high and mighty. Don't look down on those you think are wrong. Don't be such a jerk when you don't know anything.

I'm a pretty knowledgeable person myself. I like to tell people random facts that I know about to help spread the knowledge.
But, I know I don't know everything. I don't treat people like crap thinking I'm better than them just because I think I know more.

I will express my opinion on things, but I will not make it seem like my opinion is fact and that it's the only right answer.
The only time I do is if I have facts that back me up, that basically say I'm right.
That does not mean I won't listen to other people's opinions though.

I treat people with respect, so I expect the same kind of respect.

I do not tolerate those who will not listen to other's opinions.
I do not tolerate those who completely ignore straight up facts.
I do not tolerate 'Knowitalls'.

Although knowledgeable, I am not called a 'Knowitall' because I do not act like one.

.... Though I am a Smartass. ;3

DooblyDoo has shared her thoughts and had a talk.
But will you DooblyDoo or DoonblyDon't?
