I think he's trying to point out, that you're a dick (in his opinion) by trying to provoke him.

I think Tarumoto understands, he's just stretching out an already useless argument. He's accusing me of thinking I'm better than other people, however, he's the one showing signs of what he's accusing me of. He acknowledges this, but apparently in his little world, the irony is justified. Most other people simply call this hypocritical, but like I said, Taru invents his own reality. You can't argue with somebody like that.
*shrugs*

Do you see the stalemate?

Am I unpleasant to argue with? Does a person like me frustrate you? Somebody who always needs to be one up on the person they are arguing with?

Is my accusation really as untrue as you imply it is? I am hypocritical, therefore you are better than me. In calling me hypocritical you have just done what you accused me of doing, meaning you are hypocritical.

So let me ask you, in your little world, is what you are doing justified? Call what I'm doing wrong, and you are calling yourself wrong. Call what you are doing right, and you are saying I am right as well.
