Logan, by his own admission is a "BOFH"*. This completely explains his
attitude, whether you find that attitude amusing, objectionable, or
fully justified.
*For those not aware of this, BOFH stands for "B*st*rd Operator From
Hell". For a clue about what this is (as if the name doesn't say it

wikipedia it; they actually *explain* it.
