Reply #180: His tactics never change. When challenged he will:

[cosmik debris]

1. Change the subject. Whenever he is challenged, he talks about something else. That's his first line of defense when he starts losing it.

2. Blame others. He is not responsible for his actions, everyone else is. (He is like the guy who farts in the elevator and then points at the guy next to him.)

3. Resort to insults. When he has failed at the other two tactics, he falls back on his old standard. But he needs some newer and funnier material.

4. Declare victory. Even though he never addresses the challenge, he declares victory and pretends that his case has been made by blaming others and insulting those who have challenged him.

If you watch the pattern you can just assign a number (1-4) to every post he makes after a challenge.

I would suggest the following counter tactics.

1. Do not EVER address the counter subject that he uses to avoid the initial challenge.

2. Hold him personally accountable for his own actions.

3. I liked the R_A approach, count ad homs per paragraph. Chart his progress.

4. You know that when he repeatedly posts the Monty Python picture, he is completely out of ammo. Practice conservation. Catch and release is sustainable.
