The moment people started ignoring him he started upping the ante with more direct attacks. The (sly) passive aggressive attacks no longer had the reaction he thrives on. As he wants to be the centre of attention, both in the room and on the boards, he will continue to up the ante to get the same reaction, of course it will all end in tears it always does. That’s what trolls do (real trolls) play their sly little games and he most certainly is a troll.
