He's like the so-called 'government' they don't like competition. That's what I've realized about why bernie stood up to haejin, it was all cause someone was taking more pie than him. Bernie would only flag him for a couple days, blow a bunch of wind, do some spamming and then quit. The only person who had any tenacity against the donkey (haejin) was fulltimegeek, who flagged him nonstop for about 6 months.

Same reason why Bernie delegates to the only organized flaggers (SFR) ... keeps them off his back too.

Also, all his 'kindness', (throwing pennies to the plebs) is just to reel in more suckers.
