Your honesty is refreshing old chap. Don't see much of it on here.

I am honest enough to admit that i am an overweight, bigoted, uneducated pile of crap.

Honesty is the best policy in the long run.

And then you'll pat yourself on the back while we all embrace your genius.

His whole life since 9th grade has been one long, cold, and lonely wait for the embrace you speak of. Unfortunately that wait hasn't stopped the back-patting you also mention.

Ah, I see.  I'm guessing it's an obscure reference to Nietzsche or Pynchon?  Or a fashionable intentional typo?  I await your response where you will elaborate on this by quoting a few passages, being circumlocutious and sesquipedal, telling me I'm stupid/wrong, and intellectually masturbating yourself to death.  Or you will do something clever and unexpected!  And then you'll pat yourself on the back while we all embrace your genius.

Please state your query in the form of a Italian sonnet and then I might respond...

Trochaic hexameter, please!

Best,
