If he keeps whining and moaning publicly, he might soon find they urgently need his other office space, too.
The whole thing gives me secondhand embarrassment.

This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the noble Caesar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms, Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart; And, in his mantle muffling up his face, Even at the base of Pompey's statua, Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.

First comparing himself to King Arthur and then Julius Caesar? Narcissistic indeed. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post on his blog where his ego channels another larger than life personality with this quote:
"I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole LDS apologetics organization together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the MDD sheeple never ran away from me yet . . ."
This is so weird to me. He overshares on the level of my three sisters-in-law, only instead of complaining about diapers, teenagers, some hcgxyz diet, and not having enough time to scrapbook, he's complaining about a former project he worked on. It just comes across as terribly weak and victimy. Somebody call the waahmbulance already.
I don't understand what these complaints are meant to accomplish. The more he opens up, the less sympathetic and more undignified he seems. Everyone goes through hard times where they don't always get what they want. That's life. If I got the boot from a project that had been my baby, I'd quietly learn what's to be learned, move on, and start kicking ass elsewhere. You know, 'cause success is great revenge-- surely better than being perceived as a whiney-bitchy-baby on the internets.
I expect fresh outrage when his expense account is shutdown and frequent flyer miles seized.

Seriously, isn't there something off about that header?
Delicious, really. Is it the clumsy phrasing? 'The most unkindest cut'?
You know, there's nothing I find quite as amusing as people attempting to heap scorn and ridicule on others and demonstrating their own ignorance thereby.
I frequently get told that "colour," "behaviour," "aluminium" and the like are misspellings, and am scornfully asked if I don't know how to use a spellchecker. When they say such things, my interlocutors demonstrate their ignorance of the fact that English is written outside of the US of A.
Now Phil is making merry over an ungrammatical expression: "The most unkindest cut of all." How deliciously clumsy!
So clumsy, in fact, that it is a reference to an obscure author whom Phil apparently never read: a nobody named William Shakespeare. It's from Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene II. Mark Antony is making a speech over the body of Caesar; an obscure speech from a practically unknown play.

You got me. I’ve revealed not only my ignorance but also hubris.
My penance will be the knowledge that in clumsily exposing the gaps in my knowledge, I brought some mirth, however bitter, to an otherwise bleak corner of Provo.
It’s a pity I can muster no compassion for the man. I have never met him, so I have no experience of any warmth and kindness he may extend to those who know him personally. All I can see of him is the smirking contempt, arrogance and cruelty to those weaker than him he has displayed in his publications and online. I can only guess the depth of the well of shame and self-loathing behind those expressions.

More now, please? This sounds fascinating. Maybe in a new thread?
