"Sage" is a term now being used to demean posters who actually try to contribute and share their thoughts, however disorganized they may be. Its definition is slowly expanding in order to be used as a jab at people who don't post in styles that smug regulars appreciate. In particular anyone who regularly posts at length on a topic can now be labeled sage. Redalgo was mentioned. He's not edgy or trying to seem wise.. the guy's just sharing his thoughts. You know.. like, what you might feel free to do on a forum?
Things like this make the atmosphere around here pretty unpleasant.
I completely agree with this. The use of sage is just a form of bullying.
