The thing about Mike is that he doesn't post about stuff he
doesn't know inside out. That means every post he makes is
about something he knows damned well. People perceive his
confidence as arrogance because nearly every article he writes
comes backed by authoritative information. He knows his stuff
and he doesn't care if people know that.

Also, like many academicians, he doesn't suffer fools gladly.

He's not for everybody, but who the hell is?
