Cursitor Doom thinks that it would take a large vocabulary to 
characterise his character defects. He's fooling himself.
It takes a small, if specialised, vocabulary. If he had the wit, or the 
inclination to read more of my output he been exposed to a wider range 
of words.

Of course they would both have to give up posting fatuous nonsense to 
get the effect Cursitor Doom seems to want. That would be a big ask.
They'd have to learn how to identify fatuous nonsense first.
