From Webster's Third International Dictionary:

self-indulgent -- indulging oneself or marked by self-indulgence

which leads to

self-indulgence -- excessive or unrestrained gratification of one's
                   desires or whims: irresponsible self-gratification

intolerant -- unwilling to endure a difference of opinion

As I have said over and over again, I stated that living alone could lead 
to these modes of behavior, not that they would.

                     More than slightly amused,
