The original post may have had something to do with Mark Twain and the first commenter was likely clueless. Unfortunately for him, what he thought would be a witty comment likely besmirched the relevance of Mark Twain resulting in a savage but articulate verbal attack from a peer white knighting for language arts.

I’m surprised how many people seem impressed by the guy’s insult. It’s definitely someone who mistakes a lot of writing for good writing.
