If he only made those snarky comments when they were deserved, it'd be one thing. It's the fact that he keeps making them every chance he gets for every little thing, even on completely neutral statements. I guess it's impossible to know whether or not this caused any negative consequences for Brandon IRL, though. He seems bothered by it enough to make a status about it, so who knows.
But you don't know that it's indiscriminatory. We see all the posts that they both posted on, but who knows what Rob didn't respond to. Brendan seems to be the kind of guy that is posting about everything under the sun. I won't make that assumption, but the point stands---we don't know how many posts Brendan posts. We are only seeing the ones that Rob responds to.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
