I am SO reminded of vintage David Sears from about five years ago, when
he had a relatively moderate-to-severe online meltdown after claiming to
have "vastly superior intelligence" to me, after which he scored more
than 40 points less than me on the same online IQ test when trying to
demonstrate it. Having been publicly embarrassed in a big way, he then
morphed into "the Triforce," claiming to be part of a fictional panel
(from a Legend of Zelda video game), a team of uber-psychologist
observers who made up the David Sears character as a psychological /
sociological experiment. Although his dramatic "Unveiling" never took
place, nobody bought his story that the experiment tested whether
atheists would call a Christian an asshole if he intentionally acted
like an asshole.
It didn't work out too well for him.
