Eh - blowhards don’t retire. It’s in their nature. And we’re not yelping in pain - we’re denouncing him and he’s yelping in pain.
None of us got shitcanned from hundreds of publications- he sure did.

He won 0 dimensional chess by being white, and thinks he’d be a grandmaster if he was only given the chance.

The Former Cartoon Guy will feel it when Elon slams Twitter into the ground, but I don’t plan to visit his blog or channel to find out.

You think those of us here who disapprove of his actions don’t contact him because we lack courage? What the fuck, dude?
