Flint is one of my favourite posters on this site.

Me too. He's freaking hilarious! I imagine you and he laugh a lot, Pooka.

There are a lot of funny people here; Flint is among the quirkiest.

you need people like that to balance the unimaginative turds that take them selves so seriously all the time.

Perhaps most of the above is simply because I don't get his humour.
Many Dwellars I admire "get" him, so I accept there is more to him than I see.

(he does occasionally make me laugh)
Wow. That is so totally not what I get from Flint. Sure he's a complete asshole with no redeeming values, but other than that he seems ok. His humor is off the wall but often quite clever. He isn't gracious in defeat but that may be because I've never known him to feel defeated. I like that he argues for what he thinks even if I disagree and I don't really think he get that personal really. Anyway, just thought I'd defend the evil nasty prick so he doesn't pick on me and steal my lunch money for the next few days.

Here's what you have to do to understand Flint. No matter what he posts, imagine every single sentence as if he is raising one eyebrow and sticking his tongue out. It makes everything crystal clear.

A more appropriate question might be "Where is Flint?" He hasn't posted since the 4th.

Flint sucked (and not well) when he first showed up from AG; since then he's matured nicely.

I've never noticed anything particularly odd about Flint.
