Declan, I told you I wasn't fat a long while ago. As far as bastard
goes I'm not an illegitimate child nor do I think I'm particularly
spurious, irregular, inferior or of questionable origin (others may
disagree).

But let's take a look at Merriam Webster's 3rd listed definition for
this noun:

3 a : an offensive or disagreeable person -- used as a generalized
term of abuse b : MAN, FELLOW

BINGO!!!

I think you need to correct your signature again or make it clear that
it's just the fat part I'm not any longer. It could be misleading and
anyway as you must know ALL we Sepponians are bastards.
