Insulting Scholars is prolly not going to get you good results on this forum. Especially someone as knowledgeable and respected as Theo. Oh and this thread was really unnecessary. Search features save time and bandwidth.

Notwithstanding Theo's extensive WoW knowledge, he has in fact gone out of his way to insult literally thousands of people on this forum.

And yet he is guarded by groveling sycophants eager to defend his reputation. Hail Caesar.

My reputation is backed up by my knowledge. It needs no defending.

Telling someone to get over it isn't insulting. And he's in an internet cafe!

Edit@Theo: That was a lame way to show you're smarter than someone. You can get translations of famous quotes from a phrasebook. ****, I've got a book around here somewhere that teaches me to swear in Latin.

I need to pick that book up again sometime, it was fun.

It was a famous quotation, dimwit. I've taken 6 years of Latin, 3 years of French, and a year of German. When I learned Latin, I picked up Greek on the side to learn more about the Roman Empire; as most stuff was written in Greek at the time of Julius Caesar, and reading translations isn't as interesting as the original.

As Caesar was dying in the Senate, he didn't say, "et tu, Brute?" as Shakespeare wrote; a Roman historian who wrote about the event described him saying to Brutus as he died, "and you, my son?" in Greek, which was considered the erudite way of speaking at the time of his death. (He could have also meant child, as teknon generally means child.)

Since the post I was replying to said "Hail Caesar," referring to me ruling the rogue forums--apparently by power--I figured I should return the favor with a famous Caesar quotation.

Regardless, he could have gone to the search function, typed in "shadow dance" and had his answer in minutes.

What's your point? You can still get it out of a phrasebook. Or off Wikipedia, for Christ's sake.

Maybe if you'd said that the quote originates halfway through passage 82.2 of the first chapter of Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus' De vita caesarum, a copy of which I happen to have on my desk, you'd seem more like a person who actually studied the period rather than a guy who ripped it off Google.

I'm not fighting with him. I'm telling him that he could do a better job of looking smart than by reciting quotes in ancient languages. He could do it by saying something intelligent, other than

when Gaius Julius wrote his Commentaries in a crisp and comprehensible Latin.

Edit: To be fair, he is most likely referring to the two primary historians of the civil war period, Appian and Plutarch, both of whom were ethnically Greek.

It was actually Suetonius that reported Caesar to use the Greek words as he died.

To the original poster - when I was in Tanzania, it took a long time to get anything to load, let alone tracking down forum posts on a specific ability. The boredom combined with paying by the hour for my internet makes my sympathize with you - Normally I'm all about people looking stuff up for themselves, but in this case, I'm coming down on your side, for what it's worth.


That being said, I know nothing about shadow dance, since my rogue's only 53

And Plutarch who reported the contradictory account that once he saw Brutus, he covered his head and said nothing.
