If I can write solid code and communicate effectively with the people I need to why the fuck should I have to dress like you?
You shouldn’t. I don’t. But, equally, you should be able to take a bit of ribbing without having a hissy fit. But, in PFY’s case, he:
couldn’t write solid code (no biggie - we were paid to install and service, not code)
couldn’t service and could barely install properly
couldn’t communicate without boasting about his prowess in his many fields of expertise
…and, after all that, really was most deserving of a piss-taking. Frankly, he was lucky not to lose his job.
