This is also the typical Bones' thread degradation. He starts out serious-ish, but in old men in the balcony on The Muppet Show curmudgeon mode. He inevitably has to go into the deep end, with not enough swimming skill to be safe, necessarily. Once he puts his foot in his mouth, he shifts to troll mode, as if to say, "Ha, I wasn't really being serious about those points you made that are clearly correct--but they don't work on me when I'm in troll mode." Then he will try to out-multi-quote you, as an attempt at avoiding the cognitive dissonance at being fallible but, dammit, needing to see himself as infallible.
He could, now and then, just say, "Well, maybe a bit of what you say is true, in some way or another," and move on. But the dude needs his glory, ever trying to recapture that feeling of being #1 on some charts somewhere.
