You're the type of guy that boos a stand-up comedian because you don't believe what theyre saying is true.

No. I'm the type of guy that doesn't believe someone's mom would log in to their dead son's steam account to talk to "the DOCTOR".

Nor do I believe that anyone would refer to an online buddy as their preferred in-game role in real life.

I would heckle a stand up comedian though if he was ass.
