I wasn't talking about those people; they're free to think what they want, and if it makes them happy, so be it. I directed it to the people here think that they're above them.

"They'll grow out of it" <-- it = the sort of holier-than-thou attitude that you described. I guess that wasn't clear.

Hm, you can keep your musty old badge, but you shall probably be placed on probation. You can use this time to reflect on your shortcomings (though personally I think the time would be better spent polishing the badge).

That is all.
