We've said pretty much everything to him that can be said. A normal troll would have bowed out by now, but this is merely some psychosis he's going through at the moment.
I kind of want him to just leave the forums now. All he does is give stupid advice and call you a troll when you get fed up with him.

This is your problem. You want people you disagree with to stop talking. Shutting down conversation is not how you prove you are correct. This is why you are a troll. You think that trolling is the method by which you can shut down the conversation.
It doesn't work. Prove you are correct with logic, evidence, and reason.
You can choose to stop trolling and start trying to prove me wrong at any time.

You also cannot simply dismiss all data out of hand, and assume an opinion is a stronger piece of evidence. This is done frequently by the trolls. Understanding that data may be flawed or incomplete is not a reason to assume it always must be. If you want to show that someone's data is flawed, you need to do more than simple trolling.
It is simply an excuse to always proclaim "You do not have a large enough sample size, therefore all evidence gathered thus far is meaningless". I am not saying you said that, but other posters basically do this. This is a tactic used to try and make all opinions equal. When all opinions are equal, nobody is correct. When nobody is correct, there cannot be a consensus.
