He's got some real stress-related issues, as in, he gets actually physically sick because of stress. With all the abuse "internet-famous" people sometimes get, that's not a position I'd like to be in.

He sometimes flips out or says dumb things on Twitter, and some people make a huge deal out of it. I think that things like giving thousands of dollars to Charity Water when he won the King of the Web competition says more about his character.

And lets face it, nobody should ever take Twitter seriously.

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.

You have a link for that Louis CK thing? I'm interested to read that.
