   Really?  I guess our perspectives are very different.   
      
   From mine, he threw his teddy out of the pram, stomped off his own   
   group never to return - except for 22 hours later when he did exactly   
   that. I guess he lied when he said he was leaving, huh?   
      
   He showed himself to be a small man, behaving in small ways.   
      
   For someone who thrives (depends, even) upon unquestioning public   
   adoration, he managed to disappoint a huge number of people with his   
   petty display of childish petulance.   
      
   Something that those of us who have had the misfortune to meet the man   
   have known about for ages.   
      
   That he should voluntarily choose to display it for all and sundry did   
   not come as any great shock to us.   
      
   He won?  Nah. Don't think so.   
      
   I was nobody before, I am nobody now. He was someone before, but to a   
   lot of people he's a lot closer to nobody now.   
      
   He lost. Big time.   
      
   But the clueless fanboys won't see it that way. Just those who can   
   string a cohesive thought process together.
