Crosis: Locked into the idea of loving the smell of his own farts while lobbing bombs at others, rarely hitting the mark. Sorry, bud, I just don't like it when people glom on to various ideas like a remorah and can't let go.

OK. I've been drinking. And reading Sherlock Holmes. So I'm feeling mean and superior.
I hate to admit it but there's something about this guy that pushes my buttons. I had a hand in running him off in his previous iteration. In retrospect I felt bad, so when he came back I considered offering an olive branch. Luckily I didn't get around to it because I was immediately reminded of what an odious little turd he was.
So I try to ignore him and not engage. "Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown."/"Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics--even if you win, you're still retarded.""Never wrestle a pig--you only get dirty and the pig has all the fun."
That said...
He loves to brag about himself. And his name isn't very common. He claims to teach at a college, and be a published author. Now colleges like to talk about their faculty--especially Published Authors. But searches only come back to Websites he's set up. No college or university admits to him working there. I did find one link to, like, a union vote for a school for the retarded that he was on, but that's the only proof I have that he's ever taught anywhere in any capacity.
Then there's the Published Author. I don't care enough to see if his "publisher" is a vanity press, but I know about being a published author. Hell, I ponied up a grand to get someone published. I'm a whole chapter in their book. But that's another story. The point is, most books don't make very much money, so being a "published author" isn't the brag he thinks it is.
But I will admit he has a pretty expensive house (again, he voluntarily linked his name to his profile and searching tax rolls isn't particularly difficult). Not that I know how he affords it. Except that his Daddy has a fairly successful landscaping company. And he is named as an officer of said company on its legal documents. And he's talked about staying in Florida to make his Daddy happy, so I'd bet money (if I weren't so cheap) that he gets a fairly nice allowance from Daddy to keep him solvent.
Part of me wants to start this thread at The Other Place, but I realize it is pointless and vindictive. "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown."
But I'm not above laying everything out here in case someone else feels like being pointless and vindictive. :bergman:
