Perhaps, but I doubt it. I think it much more likely that he just maintains a narrow reality tunnel, and deep reserves of bile for anything outside of it. He employs some of the same written argument tactics that I've seen elsewhere... Write a Wall of Text around a few thin arguments, then snipe for obtuse points to feed the next WoT. He thinks he wins when you stop replying, because "he's right and there's no adequate response"... *rolls eyes*

I think thnidu has it right; don't feed the troll.

yea, its like a TV show I don't like, I just turn the channel :). the only thing I commented on was to correct his spelling of 'I-Con' (a long island sci-fi con i used to help run many yrs ago).
