Egosmasher's Interview with Alter-Ego

I created Egosmasher as a way to poke fun at Alter-ego, who some time ago, used to antagonize the authors here on Writing.Com. I haven't seen Alter-ego around anymore so I'll assume that Egosmasher contributed to his "exit".

Here's an interview with Alter-ego.......

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Egosmasher of See B.S. News interviews longtime cyber-antagonist "Alter-Ego" regarding his/her constant verbal assualts on the Writing.Com community authors.

Q : Well, Alter-ego. Thanks for joining me here today. Your little Hall of Shame/Pain message board has caused quite a stir. Is there any particular reason why you have such anger towards everyone?

Alter-ego : Uhh. Yes. I'm an idiot.

Q: OK. Fair enough. Why do you think you became this way? Is there something about your upbringing that may have contributed to your being such an unbelievable idiot?

Alter-ego : Well, my momma was a rather accomplished idiot and my daddy was a full-fledged buffoon. They taught me everything I know.

Q: In your column you continually talk down to everyone and try your hardest to degrade the other authors' work on Writing.Com. Why is that?

Alter-ego : I suppose it's because I am nothing less than a giant, blithering idiot.

Q: OK. Is it fair to say that you're the village idiot?

Alter-ego : What's a village?

Q: Never mind. Do you think you'll always be this way or do you see changes on the horizon for yourself? In other words after you grow out of your potty pants, and start accomplishing real goals, do you see yourself particpating in the world around you?

Alter-ego : Yes. I plan to finish potty training in a few years, get some big-boy pants and then really start pissing some people off. My goal is to become an even bigger idiot than I am now. I think I'm well on my way, don't you?

Q: Yes, you certainly are. Isn't it fair to say that your animosity towards others is really just misplaced jealousy because you secretly fear you are inadequate as a human being?

Alter-ego : Huh? Slow down a little, wouldja? Didn't I mention I was an utter idiot?

Q: Yes, you did. Sorry. Let me rephrase the question. Why are you such a whiney-ass punk?

Alter-ego : ..........(crying, running out the door)

Q: Oh. Don't be offended. Come back! Well I guess that's all for today. The idiot has left the building. Come back next week when Alter-ego says, " WAAAAAA!"
