Sycamore, based on your comments, I am beginning to think that maybe you don't know the difference between "envy" and "disgust". Just in case, envy has to do with wanting things or conditions possessed by another - disgust has to do with deploring a situation or behavior.
I once experienced a guy who thought it made him look smart and important when he cut and pasted big articles onto a website, and then pretended to be a discussion leader with superior insight because he knew how to cut and paste.
It's the guys who know how to think and write that I admire here.
