I've been accused of being both, only not in such polite terms. Am I really? I don't think so, but I suppose nobody would choose to think of themselves in such unflattering terms. Undoubtedly there are those here who think of me that way - 'you hit my rhetoric' button and I'll respond with the most well-written and intelligent argument I'm capable of constructing. Despite my pains to conceal it I do have a fairly strong grasp of the english language, which tends to appear when I engage in debate, even over internet forums.
Does that make me a windbag? I don't think so. Again, there's probably those who'd disagree with me.

I took it as a reference to toking up and the old 'puff puff pass' rule. As in, he'd smoked too much weed and wasn't sharing.
Oh, that's my other thing. I tend to explain things out, even things that people may already know. I've ben told this occasionally comes across as condescending.
It's funny how that happens. If I'm in a barroom I tend to revert to 'Joe Schmoe' mode and leave all that crap out; I'll act like any other guy. But if you sit me in a room and someone mentions atomic theory or computer security or literature or music or any number of a thousand different subjects I'm interested in, I'll talk your ear off...
