An Unbelievable Demo

I think you're giving cperciva too much credit. He was just as arrogant as people thought, and he was definitely defensive.

I wonder how many people will downvote you without looking at your username?

This thread is turning out to be better than the one from 2007...

I can't downvote, but I am glad you said something because I didn't look!

But does he refer to himself in the third-person? That's the pinnacle of arrogance.

cperciva rarely refers to himself in the third person, but it does occasionally happen.

More often, we refer to ourselves in the first person plural.

TIL. Sounded reasonable to me, so quite likely I'm arrogant too.

Tarsnap's still there though, so I'd say that's a good defense.

I didn't say that I was wrong.

But I was having a bad day, and I said things in a different and more abrasive way than I normally would.
