i considered that possibility for a moment - not unlike dupey, he's into saying obnoxious things seemingly to push people's buttons. and some of his posts as of late have been pretty impressive in terms of writing, witty comparisons, etc... if it was dupek, he was letting his guard down and falling out of character.
but in the end i really do think it's a petulant 17-year-old with a big opinion about something he should know more about (the reason why he fits in so well on this board)... either that, or a generally Oscar-worthy performance.
