The only reason he's cocky is due to the fact that he's gotten away with playing Pied Piper to the low IQ set here on FR for so long.
And maybe that he's got apologists, such as yourself, to cover for him, and discount the obscene ravings. The jerk is authentic. I've been reading his posts for a fairly long time, now, and I've never seen anything like a slip, breaking character.
Or prove me wrong, please.
