NO. Would you bump a thread about Common Lisp interpreters in Scheme with ``fuk u faget XD''? I wouldn't, but sometimes you can't resist the temptation to reply to a provocating post. Obviously, you can't tell the other party to continue this on /lounge/, so you reply with a sage. That way, you won't disappoint someone who just opened /prog/ and is eagerly waiting for new VIP quality responses in that thread you just took a shit on.

Come on, this is not an imagereddit. People here try to give sage a proper use. No offense, but the reason you think sage is an insult might be your long exposure to imageboards.
