        Thanks for making me feel even smaller and more insignificant that I was already feeling. Real good Neil.

        If his ego was too big to begin with he wouldn’t be feeling small and insignificant to begin with.

        Obviously he didn't feel all that small and insignificant if this tweet had any negative affect upon his previous perspective of himself.

        wow... he clearly stated how he felt beforehand. You make it seem as if he thought he was a god before the tweet.
