Eh, caustic asshole talk rolls right off my back I guess so can overlook his tone. I hate manipulative though, so if he's being manipulative I'd prefer to call him out for that directly. Are the people he's (vaguely) claiming are happy not actually happy? Call him a tard for that by all means.

But if we're bothering with tone, I dislike the "Ooooh, mr bigshot thinks he's so smart doesn't he fellas?" tone of the post's title even more than smug asshole tone of Larry. I don't like that slope down to performative ignorance. If I think I'm obviously smarter than someone I'd like to preserve the right to respectably rub it in their faces and vice versa.
