Yes, I noticed his cult is getting much stronger now. A couple of the moderators, one especially, are extremely protective of him. One little insult thrown his way and the culprit is immediately pounced upon.
As for his chosen handle, I'm sure he's had a response to such an accusation ready to go since he started at TWeb.
I find it fascinating to read his posts sometimes. How can any one person consistently insult so many people, so many times, and in so many ways??? Now that takes talent!
Socrates is an intelligent man, no doubt, but I can't say much for his current state of mind.
