Most of Phil Fish's jerk facery is just attempts of responding to the sheer hate he gets. It started when he openly stated his opinion in front of an audience. Yeah, he's opinionated, he says controversial stuff, he's not afraid to speak his mind. He stands behind his work and product, and has the right to defend it and himself. He's human.
Kind of like Ian Boswell, except not.
