John is a pompous jerk who likes to misinterpret half-truths, scream persecution, and then block people when called out rather than admit fault. And if ever called on it he silently deletes his tweets instead of acknowledging his actions or faults.

source: he blocked me years ago for precisely this. also, coincidentally, when he was screaming persecution once prior.

Further examples of another tweet thread of his that he silently deleted after getting called out:

In short, pretty much anything that comes out of John's mouth is trolling, and should be given about as much credence.
