Why the animosity towards Tanner and the blog? Perhaps a little bit of underlying jealousy?

Tons of jealousy...the guy is wealthy, good-looking, smart, sexy, cool, has shiny/flowing hair, nice teeth, is about to go to med-school soon and runs the hottest personal blog in town...who wouldn't be so steaming jealous of this lucky, thin-skinned guy.
That's why I'm fired up...he's got it way better than me. He's also got a cooler brother than me too...Lose-lose for me...hence the bitterness.
Anyway, I don't catch feelings so it's not like I personally hate this guy or hold contempt. He expresses his opinions in a blog and I express them on threads in the Warpath. We're made of the same virtual ilk.
When it comes down to it are any opinions written on the internet a big deal?...short answer, no...long answer, yes
