I think there is a BIG difference between good ol' fashioned bantering between dudes and joking around versus consistent arrogance in the form of trying to always one up someone or be the king of all subjects and attacking anyone that questions or disagrees with him.
My gang I hang with on the island is full of distinct characters and we are always teasing and bantering each other on everything. But it is truelly fun, not annoying. However, one of my buddies has a brother who comes around now and then, he always starts out having a good time and he is very funny, then someone says just the wrong thing to him and he starts having a fit, getting mad, trying to one up his brother, and often a takes off pissed off and won't speak to us for weeks. There has even been a few fist fights with him. Ridiculous, this seems to be the same type of personality. Although I really don't know since I've never met Big Stick, or should I say Hog Daddy. Maybe it's just his online persona. He did however seem to know what he was doing in the outdoors and a lot of us would like to be where he is at living in Alaska and taking part in that the great outdoors up there on an everyday basis. But, egos can get the best of a lot of people, or being socially handicapped. So good riddens. Too Bad. Could have been cool having reports from up there.
