What an earth is his problem? Is he incapable of conversing without
attacking? No wonder most of his admitted ability gets lost as he
must be killfiled by most and only seen when quoted, such as now...
I'm no shrink, but he generally seems to display a narcissistic personality
disorder where he's some kind of, I dunno, superior intellect, who respects
a select few other posters whom he sees as peers, but regards everyone
outside that very small group as fools, so contemptible that any attempt to
discuss or argue with him, or even utter a remark he finds foolish is so
ofensive that he responds viscously, believing they deserve to be smacked
down in the strongest terms and hopefull chased off never to return.
While normal people find his behaviour and language shocking and utterly
inappropriate, I get the impression he justifies it to himself as
maintaining some kind of standard of discussion, that there is some forum
itellligensia that silently thanks him for his vigilante action. The upshot
has been, at times, to supress almost all discussion, which I suspect
satisfies him deeply as proof of his authority.
Either that or he's just a nut job, you either gotta just ignore him, or
learn to giggle at Phil's inevitable ALL CAPS response with lots of stars
and carriage returns.
