Cyxth,
He has never been interested in having a civil discussion about any topic he’s made up his mind on. When confronted with logic/information that erodes his understanding of reality it’s like his brainstem kicks in and enacts subconscious defensive countermeasures to protect his terminally frail sense of self.
Countermeasures thus far observed (in order or frequency seen)
-call the person a troll
-refuse to confront reality and smokescreen with a strawman counter-question as a flare, refuse to engage in the topic at hand until other parties play by his rules and answer demanded questions
-move a goalpost
-thank people for concessions not given
-“as you can see” … talk to an imaginary audience that isn’t there
-change the parameters of reality and/or redefine the situation/question

I think you're spot on. Many posters have tried to engage in discussion, to simply be called a troll, their arguments dismissed and/or ignored while DSM constructs straw men to argue against instead, and then demands the other person provide evidence to support the straw man DSM created (LOL!). Wild when he won't or can't even provide evidence to support his own claims.
