I'm not the one that called him a liar or castigated him earlier on in this thread. His love of self-promotion simply invites the criticism and I'm not surprised when people assume he's spinning some tall tales. He rarely misses an opportunity to tell everyone about himself, even if the connection to the topic is tenuous at best. He's not hurting anyone but it's strange and peculiar and mildly annoying.

It's totally possible to not be a hater but to also call a spade a spade, and since I don't know him personally like it seems many of his defenders here do, my perspective might be reliably more objective in how he's coming across than to those who are already in his fan club.
