What's with Flint?

Is he batshit insane?

Why? I'd have to say it's about par for the course.

After 2.5 years I'm still not sure about Flint.
He's abrasive, has very different ideals to me, is not gracious in defeat, is belligerent and not afraid to engage people in arguments, and gets quite personal when he does.

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)

You're taking him way too seriously. He is in "real life" very down to earth and PC... almost to a fault, quiet and easy to get along with. Of course... that is with most common acquaintances and co-workers... if he acts the way you describe him above ... it means he likes and respects you. It’s sorta like being back in kindergarten, but with headier subject mater... well... sometimes...

Flint is really a very cool, very funny and very sweet guy... trust me...
