Yes, yes he was.
Just read back through his posts and you will see what I mean. He spends more time being being "brutally honest" with people than he does trying to get along with them.
This is what makes him an asshole.
Sure, he may be nice to talk to in private, or one on one, but when it comes to the forums, he is just lethal. And like Alcar once said, this forum runs on humorous, kind people.
While it may be slightly hypocritical of me to say any of this, I do at least make a noted effort to be humorous and generally nice.
You can say Disgruntled Intern is a nice person as many times as you like, but it doesn't get rid of his post history.
