It's priceless comedy to be sure.

Actually it's usually accepted among most level headed and objective people that if one party has to constantly resort to insults or ad hominem attacks that it means they are unable to debate the topic properly and they have probably ran out of facts. Thus the tendency to resort to the insults and other logical fallacies.
Also I have to point out that talking big on the internet and insulting people left and right doesn't really prove that you are richer or more successful than anyone else. In fact usually it means the exact opposite as I have observed. You don't see a lot of successful people calling people burger floppers online and talking about being able to buy and sell people 100 times over. There is a reason for that. OTOH lots of people desperately try to be someone online that they are not in real life. Not that the size of your pocketbook means you have all the facts any more so than anyone else. That's another fallacy called
argument from authority.
