I deserved worse for this, so I appreciate you giving me more dignity than I gave you. You learn pretty quickly on Qatari astroturf farm Wikipedia to accept that, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you're just inevitably going to be the stupid, confidently incorrect fuckface, and you don't stick around long if you can't adapt to that.
