Why has Frodo turned into an asshole since he's come back? I'm assuming he wasn't an asshole before because he has a lot of rep points.

He's been hanging around us too long.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

Nah, I'd say that Frodo is a lot like me in that respect (but on the opposite side of the religious spectrum), he's one of the nicest assholes one could ever hope to meet 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'm guessing you haven't read the last 5 or so pages?

I dunno, he's always been pretty evasive about explaining his position, if memory serves. It's just lately he's combining that with this lofty sense of having won the argument despite not making one, which I find quite vexing.
Really, given that, him ignoring me is probably the best thing; it prevents me from getting irate and wasting my time with non-arguments furnished by the debate version of a presuppositionalist apologist.
