Well, if what you've written is any indication, you're not as angry about it as I am. Or maybe you're just calmer about the whole thing. ;-) I think the crowning bit of the litany of insult is that after he's pretty much called the entire audience a bunch of stupid cows, he ends with "here are my articles I've written on personal development. Please donate!" Yes, asking for donations is a much more dignified activity than earning a living wage. I think basically he's a jerk that wants to convince the reader that his/her life is unworthy so that the reader will pay Mr. Jerk money to be told how to fix the unworthy life. Personal growth my ass. And is it me, or are there faint, creepy BDSM overtones to expecting to be paid for insulting/pissing all over someone?
