He might be a fool but he's our fool.
Fool … a person lacking in judgment or prudence.
Prudence … the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason.
A person that creates a game such as this, with the use of creativity, technical and theoretical knowledge, humor, sarcasm and irony does not appear to be lacking any vital components.
According to scientific research, ironic sensibility appears to be hardwired into the neurons, although using and understanding irony also require social intelligence.
There is another word for a person that have social intelligence, uses logic, understanding, reasoning, planning, critical thinking and problem solving in their life ( or their online posting if you like ). A person with self awareness and emotional knowlegde that apparently still makes the same mistakes over and over again without correcting them, and that word is not fool.
