I think on this forum the "don't look into the past" crowd sometimes forget that many of us enjoy history, and feel like if we learn enough of it we get a better picture of how the world really is.
He's just trying to rationalize himself, to himself. CC low self confidence has led him to do this publicly, like a stereotypical teenager does on facebook, because when enough people engage him in his trollery (not a word?) it distracts him from his real problem.

You haven't seen that debate going on? I have. CC does his best to be a jerk, he destroys his own credibility, and as a result there are a percentage of people on the board and in life that will look for his motives when he says/does anything.

It's typical Disney Princess Syndrome. Look at Britney and Lindsey Lohan. What do these three have in common?

Now that they're out on their own, they head in the extreme opposite direction to distance themselves.
