I bet you don’t think this post is about you, do you?

by E.D. Kain

Have you ever encountered one of those bloggers who is just the perfect mix of self-denial, insecurity, arrogance, and unoriginality that everything they write seems flat and insincere, contrived, and sort of … regurgitated?  Or take all those qualities and add to the mix a real flare for name-calling and self-aggrandizement, and you get a real shouty, boorish, almost 4th grade “I’m the best look at me” bullying sort of blogger.  Lots of heat, but no light.  I know a few bloggers like that, but I bet they don’t know I’m talking about them.  It’s a kind of reverse-vanity.

Hahaha. You’re too modest.

I know you aren’t talking about me — I’m too humble.

I’m the most humble person in the world, by far.

No, I’m way more humble than you ever thought about being.

And just when I thought my bruised ego was getting better. Cr*p…more therapy.

You liberltarian back patting Hamas worshipping nihilist who has the moral clarity of a thimble.

Maybe something like that.

It’s the damn third person isn’t it?

RSM, right?

I took this post as a personal rebuke until I saw the words “unoriginality” and “regurgitated”.

There were, however, clouds in my coffee.

Nihilist.
