OB1, ABF's right, no not about the Wal-Mart thing, about how insulting you can be to others. We've all noticed that you belittle everyone around you. You may be joking, but there's no way to tell that. Saying things like "typical ABF..." and "you're just pulling stuff out of your ass, as usual", is VERY insulting. You really are saying he's stupid that way. It's not his own insecurities that are doing that, you are clearly using large numbers of insults directed at him that mean exactly that. You do this all the time. If you really are joking, then maybe you should learn something called tact. It would really help in how you relate to people.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
