I would cautiously posit that **Reeder** is mimicking the occasional contributions of a certain _other_ well-known poster, one who has from time to time been mentioned in the same breath as the word “condescending.”

In which case, **Reeder** is awarded the rare triple-whoosh. With extra points for style.

I don’t know from condescending, but [in this GQ thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5607913&postcount=19) he seems pretty fuckin’ nasty and cruel.

Tuckerfan laments his impecuniousness and therefore, his inability, to deal with an ailing feral cat. spingear’s response:

Also a bb pellet is supposed to accomplish the same purpose. Sorry no cite, read it on the web some time past.

Bastard.

Alright, I’ve read all the threads.

I’ve now officially decided that he’s a total prick.

I’m sure you will all rest easier now, knowing this.
