Liar.

This is a perfect illustration of what passes for analysis on your part. You’ve brought up this alleged admission on my part, that i’m an asshole, multiple times. Here’s what i actually said:

Emphasis mine.

To the extent that i’m an asshole, and abusive, it’s usually towards mouthbreathing troglodytes like you, who are either too fucking stupid to understand what rational debate and discussion are, or too fucking hidebound in your backwards thinking to even try having an honest conversation in the first place.

As i’ve said to you before, if i seem to lean towards abuse when you encounter me, it’s precisely because you have constantly and determinedly shown yourself unworthy of any attempt at thoughtful and rational discourse. You’re a shit-flinging monkey who brings literally nothing to any conversation you enter, with the possible exception of TV and movie discussions, where your tendency to rely on uninformed opinion is more easily tolerated.

If your usual contributions on this message board are any indication, you weren’t.

Anyway, the **Starving Artist** show has derailed this thread long enough. Get back to jerking off over your cardboard tube and your police batons. I’m done with you.
