Yesman, tw isn't emotionless: win the argument and he will visibly hate you, spending an inordinate amount of time and words trying to secure a win -- which he's never cool and logical enough to see that the word-torrent serves about as well to dig him in deeper as to pull him out. He simulates rationality, but the simulation breaks down frequently, especially under well-founded challenges by persons better informed than he -- those who didn't learn history in Soviet-era Russia.

Believe me, my experience of him shows he has emotions -- but that none of them are happy. Happy men, fullfilled men, do not write like tw either.

How this squares with the brief burst of jokes earlier this month I do not know.
