In fact, I hate doing it.
But I could let this oppurtunity pass.

Yea I see that, but it's not the issue. It's just a normal forum, and anyone can join and come in and see it. People wont stop at every name and tag line just to make sure it's not an anagram.
It's not rocket science, you know.
“An” (or “A”) is used to describe one, but does not specify which. It is a random. Like saying “buy me a car”. Which one do you mean, etc?
“The” is used to specify a particular object or person.
For example, I might say,
Please get me an airbrush. This does not indicate which one, and also may assume there are many such items.
However, if I said,
Please get me the airbrush. This would indicate a singular object only.
So IB should be “The Eastern inbred”, not “An Eastern inbred”.
Have you even stoped to think that his tagline says An Eastern Inbread implying one eastern person who is an inbread (who in this case appears to be IB). It doesn't say all easterners are inbreads. You made that jump of logic yourself.

No, it isn't, but lets laugh at him for it.
