Could be a genuine paradox here; since normally, we'd expect (given the history of certain so-called E'd people, say the "confirmed Gang of Three": Andy, Bevan, and RWC.) conversations like this...
imagainary words of the above: "I'm E'd and therefore am not an A-hole" ... But they are A-holes! otoh, if an E'd person admitted being an A-hole, this could represent a certain degree of humility, in which case he/she couldn't be an A-hole! Reminds me of a conversation I had with a Fundie Christian. He quoted the Bible saying "The first shall be the last, and the last first". Then I said, in view of that, if there's a Rapture, I want to be last. But then he said, "Of course, if you're last, you're first!". ... But that might not work either since one could "really' come in last; and those opting for being first could really be first. ... But on the hole to avoid being an A-hole, it's best to admit it; rather than being in the same company with the real A-holes: His Holiness Bevan, Andy, and RWC. ... The bottom line: There's plenty of room aboard for normal, regular A-holes. http://www.fantasygallery.net/edwards/art_0_vimes-and-croissant-rouge.html
