In all seriousness, I cannot believe there isn't something sus in that situation. There is no fucking way that Phil makes an exception for anyone, let alone THAT guy, just because he feels like it. I'm not saying Derich is secretly a mastermind, and that his tard-posting is an act, but something is definitely not right here, more than likely on Phil's part, rather than Derich's.
Phil knows he is not eventually getting money out of the idiot, and he's not patient anyways. So WTF? Derich isn't paying him behind the scenes, they both would've let that slip by now. Phil isn't worried about the fallout of berating him, he has done way worse and then just memory-holed it.
@Pisstrooper I completely agree that the baseline should always be a normal, decent human being. We start grading on a curve, we may as well delete any mention of anybody who hasn't fucked their own mother, beaten their kids, or preyed upon a younger person to a degree way beyond what Phil did. There is always going to be some new lolcow on the horizon who more closely resembles Jeffrey Dahmer than they do Boogie, that does not make the fat fuck a harmless blob. A homicide doesn't delete someone else's act of crying wolf for money.
And certain folks who assess the severity of one lolcow's transgressions should really fucking study before they speak. Phil isn't Josef Stalin, but he is still very far from being Bob Ross.
