Hilarity ensues:

First, note that he refers to the situation as a “problem”.  This is
directly contrary to the stance he has publicly been taking until now,
which was the unconvincing pretense that he was enjoying the conflict. 
This is good, in that it shows he knows he cannot credibly continue to
hide behind a facade of feigned pleasure, unfortunately, he still isn’t
willing to admit the extent to which his pride and his sensitivities
have been wounded, much less how he is in over his head.  He hasn’t been
able to fully take the first step, but his foot is in motion and that
is a nominally positive development.

Second, he has finally begun to grasp that he is powerless and that his
actions mean nothing to me.  “Whether I ignore him or not doesn’t
matter, so fine. I might as well get something productive out of it.” 
This, too, is indicative of a degree of progress in escaping his
self-constructed alternate reality.  Remember, the opinion of others
matters greatly to the gamma.  They find it hard, very hard, to imagine
that the same is not necessarily true of those higher in the hierarchy. 
John might still think I’m crazy to be so indifferent to the opinion of
a whole hopping host of rabbits, but crazy or not, he is finally
beginning to understand that this is, in fact, the case.

Third, he is still clinging to some illusions.  As NateM said: “He
REALLY doesn’t get you…”  The gamma never understands the ALPHA.  John
has begun to grasp that his actions mean nothing to me, but he hasn’t
fully accepted that they truly mean nothing to me.  He can donate all of
the royalties he received from his books in 2012 to those four
charities or go off and fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan; it makes
absolutely no difference to me.

Fourth, he’s still not being entirely honest.  Does anyone believe that
he truly hopes I take advantage of all 200 of them?  Does anyone believe
this will be the last time we see any reference, however veiled, to the
adorable RSHD? 

Go read the whole thing, it’s a perfect demonstration of what happens when a midwit critic tries to make fun of a superintelligence.
