Thanks for the rep, though I shouldn't have bothered writing anything in response to him. Looking at his other posts, especially today, he's a lame flame-baiting troll who I've reported and hopefully will be banned soon.
Phil is -literally- the only person I've put on ignore. I tend to not use ignore lists because I'm more than willing to fight my battles, but with him there's just no point. He's taken obtuse to a whole new level. He just acts like a petulant child and nothing you say matters because he's absolutely incapable of reason, so as soon as you challenge him he just drops all of the pretense of a debate and starts hurling playground insults (and I mean that literally... he says things you'd expect from a five year old).
