And him saying "you'll learn that i'm pretty damn blunt if you didn't know it already" translates AFAIC directly to "my social skills are not too damn good".

I was reading about PulpFiction on Erik J. Barzeski's blog and asked a question about the demo terms in a comment. He responded and we had a brief dialog until another reply of his came with some seeming... So an interesting thing just happened … I was reading about PulpFiction on Erik J.

I was actually having a little fun, pointing out that he got a word wrong, but then he re-edited the post and made some indignant comments on the log. Well, I couldn't leave it there having piqued such an obviously erudite individual and pointed out yet further errors but suggested that instead of editing the blog again he just stood behind what he'd written rather than continually changing it to cover up his ignorance. At that point I was banned. :) I continue to read his web log - purely because I find him really quite sad and desperate but in an uncannily addictive way. I've recommended his web log to friends as that of a "sad and tedious little man", which I (and the friends) think sums him up nicely. I don't have anything personal against the guy but I do find his behaviour quite hilarious, and his attitude is juvenile at best. I can't wait to see the next "introspective about girls" post - how deep and insightful this regular series is. Yup, alongside "Me and my kayak, pt. 7" and the ever popular Question of the Day slot, who knows how he ever makes time to write software?

Also, I did programming work for which Erik decided he no longer wanted once he cut me from the program, which meant I wasted a day doing work for which I got no compensation. Also, he treated me really rudely and horribly and acts like I should be grateful I had a chance to even *see* the program before release and shouldn't mind being cut from the program on a whim.
