Patrick is bright, erudite, and does not take himself as seriously as other people sometimes take him. While he cannot seem to resist exercising his scathing wit on other posters (myself included), I honestly do not believe he does it with the intent to inflict pain on them, he just tries to "take the pi$$" out of them, a popular British social pasttime. Nor does he hesitate to turn that same scathing wit against himself at times, and I just gotta admit, while I can't necessarily agree with or endorse the method he uses to display his wit, I can't help it, I like him.
