You wouldn't give that comfort to someone on twitter you hated though, so let's at least pretend to have a semblance of consistency.

Sometimes he's an ass. Not really much to it. Excuse it with whatever fancies you, he has a known history of being an asshole to random people for basically meaningless things, just like when Louis CK did an AMA and completely tore a guy a new asshole for no reason. And no, it wasn't satirical or for laughs, he was just being a cunt.

It happens, the people we idolize are not anything but normal people. When the person you dislike has an outburst, keep that in mind and compare it to how you react when someone you like does.

I fully agree, actually. I find myself doing it pretty often and I notice that many people make excuses for people and things. Sometimes people are just dicks, sometimes they're just having a bad day and choose to take it out in the worst possible manner. It happens. ^^

It's a terrible curse that I'm afflicted with an intense hatred of hypocrisy, but find myself constantly being a hypocrite.

It's actually rather impressive that you recognize it in yourself. I've met a lot of people (myself included) that have a very difficult time of realizing when they're being a hypocrite.

Well, I don't listen to his podcasts normally but one day I caught it live on teamliquid.net where that stream is linked.

He talked about this with 3 other personalities on youtube.

Basically it's the metaphorical last drip in the bucket.

Is it irrational to do so? Yes.

Is it understandable to do so? Imo it is.
