"I don't get it," said Russ. "You've been wanting to read Letters From a Nut by Ted Nancy for ages. You said it was supposed to be hilarious. You checked out both copies from the library for us. Now you're saying it's too mean?"
"Precisely."
"But you love reading that David Thorne blog, and that guy is seriously rude. Crass, even. Worse, possibly."
They're completely different, though. Ted Nancy makes stuff up. Contacting Kinko's and pretending to be Siamese twins seeking employment (and engaging in a correspondence with the company about said situation) is disrespectful to the use of time for the poor employee assigned to cordially responding to such nonsense.
David Thorne, on the other hand, does not seem to seek out opportunities to be a jerk (too often) but is quick to retaliate when others attempt to waste his time.
I can get behind that.
Case in point: Missing Missy

Jerk? Totally.
But he was clearly provoked.
