Wow, thoroughly entertaining (though slightly deranged) read. Did not expect to see a RA Salvatore reference in this, that brought me back.

I deleted my comment to the author's chutzpah. It had a bit of "IamTheMainCharacter" and "IamAveryStableGenius" qualities. The thing is, I agree with them, even if I want to say "dial the ego down mate" -and after all if you cannot parade your worth on your own blog, where can you?

Still. I prefer self-deprecating. Maybe you don't get seniority in his space if you don't sell.

May I point you to the "Compliments" section of his blog, in your search for self-deprecating.

Fair. But he's unrepentant. It's like the book author who adds bad review blurb to their book on the basis controversy simply feeds readership.

But yes. Clearly self aware. Just doesn't care. Which is fine too: it's his blog.
