...obnoxiously, smugly, self-righteously stubborn and relentlessly destructive to the discussion...
...relentless regardless of how much one ignores them and regardless of how long one ignores them...
...persistently scanning for any opportunity to come back to the thread and be maximally destructive so that no one with an opposing view has sufficient courage or bother to deal with them...
...smugly notch their Bibles for such 'successes' for 'the faith.'...

May they reap many ocean tankers full of what they have dished out. May all the threads they inintiate bite the dust early with only very uncomfortable mirrors their only consolation.

I presume you are directing this at me (albeit in the third person), since you posted this solely to me?

Soup, please. Gespacho. Here's my $2.50.

Actually, I was ranting to all and sundry.

That was an equal opportunity rant not limited to any particular individual.

Don't know that I even limited it to any individual focus in my own mind.
