On the agony of being a fan of both Matusow and Raymer.

I don't think there is any great contradiction. Mike isn't like Hellmuth. He isn't a a little prick because he takes a bad beat and feels the need to insult someone, he just enjoys being a douchebag, but in his personal life is the nicest friendliest guy you'll meet. He'll show flashes of class at the table, and is only really vicious to actual douchebags.
