I may be a bit too indulgent when it comes to him, but that's because he seems to have quite a few mental problems. As I said, he doesn't seem to have any social skills to speak of and really doesn't get what his statement do to others. He also seems to be quite slow on taking responses as being responses and keeps on asking. Unless you're obnoxious on purpose that points to being unable to walk in the shoes of others.
You're a better man than I, Abs. I see purpose in his bullshit; he's clearly smart enough to understand even points laid with dullness -- but at other times, seems to deliberately steer clear of understanding, as if it were an iceberg.
This pattern of obnoxiousness, followed by remorse, followed by shiny personality -- a pattern shown a few times now -- may well be a sign of mental disorder. It may also be a sign of someone comfortable working with manipulation as a tool of expression.
Me, I'm skeptical. Given the fact that anyone can be anything online -- and I've seen hucksters, grifters, and sociopaths working the crowd -- his unsteady character elicits a little sympathy, but more suspicion, in me.
