I remember when Graeme first noticed him on FBR (over his concern about the appropriateness of Hulkling and Asguardian's relationship in Young Avengers) and he's always been the guy who starts out with a very flawed argument, people try to get him to examine the flaws in his argument and he responds with 750 words about how the questioner needs to be better educated in order to properly comprehend Meely's original argument... then he melts down. So, in short, he's one of those people who doesn't listen and then will lecture you about the importance of listening.

Is that one of those weird malapropisms like that commercial about "the 800-pound gorilla in the room" at which I'm always shouting back to the TV, "Look, you can be an 800-pound gorilla, or you can be the elephant in the room (that nobody talks about), but you can't be both"? I mean, it's either "the Soviet Union" or "Communist China," isn't it? But it's probably futile considering the man doesn't have a clear grasp of how the internets work. You see, they're a series of tubes... “Soviet China?” Is that one of those weird malapropisms like that commercial about “the 800-pound gorilla in the room” at which I’m always shouting back to the TV, “Look, you can be an 800-pound gorilla, or you can be the elephant in the room (that nobody talks about), but you can’t be both”?
