Orbiter,
You joke about not taking his meds but in many ways it's a valid point. We have absolutely no idea who we are talking to at the other end of the computer but there are A LOT of fruit loops frequenting internet forums, living vicariously through the cyber world and any attention they can draw-in from those willing to listen. Better put these unstable ones on ignore IMO.
With some people, you've lost each and every debate with them before you even start because they know everything and when challenged, condescend or get all sensitive or throw bile at you. And yet they leave the conversation 100% convinced that they've defeated you or taught you a lesson. Now if it's a mate winding you up at the pub that's fun but on an internet forum, it's just boring.

It's a shame really, because the approach used just tarnishes what could otherwise be an educational experience. Oh well, there are others who have the ability to communicate in better spirit.
