is an overcompensating asshole. I find great satisfaction in being on the opposite side from overcompensating assholes.
That works for a lot of things in life - I know I'm not the originator of this thought but I do use it often - look at who is for a thing and who is against a thing and decide who I would be more proud to be aligned with.

overcompensating assholes are rarely, if ever, on the list of people I want to stand with.
