Suck at what, exactly? Are you suggesting that assholes cannot possible be good at anything?
Life. I don't think being good at one thing earns you esteem, neither self or otherwise. For instance, Ted Bundy. If you are constantly told you are wonderful when you in fact suck will you try to suck less? Not so much.

OH MAN! do I have to bite my tongue on that one. I never thought of you as a straight man.
Release your tongue, brave warrior.

Well of course you were subconsciously referring to yourself on that one, if you protest you will prove the point.

Not necessarily; an asshole can learn to not be an asshole while maintaining a sense of self-esteem.

It stunts their assholeness, as well as a whole bunch of other things.
What stunts their assholeness? Thinking that they're wonderful? Au contraire, it enhances and expands it. It helps it grow into fullblown sociopathy.
In another current thread on this board, they are praising the sociopath.
