I've been watching XYZ's memetic experiment (conscious or not) with much
enjoyment. It's no easy trick to hook some of the minds on this list! I
don't think it's so much the name-calling as the easy target XYZ is
setting himself (no chance he's not a "he"!) up as. It's just SO
tempting to win what looks to be an easy battle with an arrogant
self-righteous geek, which is how X portrays his persona. But then once
you bite, he reacts in a non-standard way, showing either Level-3
consciousness or pathological lying (I'm not sure which).
