How to be a hypocrite

Posted on 10:32 by hony
Bash Edison for not being the "real" inventor of the light bulb and claim Edison merely made it practical, then get pissed when someone points out Tesla wasn't the "real" inventor of A/C and then defend Tesla for "making A/C practical."

Or as Armstrong states it: Aaaand it looks like @Oatmeal is whining that everything he said is true and where it's not he gets a free pass 'cause he's a cartoonist.

People need to learn that when they go a little overboard and get called out on it...the worst thing they can do is double down.
