I often wonder how close he comes to being abuse-voted off the site. 
He may know what he's talking about, but...

Not for the first time. I'm pretty open about the fact he (and his ilk) the primary reason I largely stopped answering in Q&A a few years ago & I know I'm not alone. There are a few people I think have gone further and have actually stopped posting here (I assume they've moved other place whose name I dare not utter here) because of this sort of thing going on in Q&A.

So does he, most of the time!

Ask Kornfeld. He had conquered over the power of Voldemort.
I, too, had an encounter with him. He answered a simple question with much complicated one (one I cannot decipher) and downvoted my answer. Then, after a couple of minutes (maybe he realized he was wrong) delete his answer and upvote mine. I'm all armored to face the lord voldemort but I was relieved he backed down first.
I know too that arguing with him is like arguing with ladies. You know you're right, but definitely will lose in the end.
Goodnight guys! 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Actually, this isn't necessarily the case. I've had one exchange with him where he backed off, but it was more tedious than it was worth.
The forums are/were much kinder and much better at self-policing. Spats would break out and dingbat questions would be chided, but it did seem much more collaborative as the replies are all visible.

Wow! Just found out that SA was the reason for what appeared to me to be a valid newbie question to be closed[^]. Yay! (I thought the OP closed it.) So much for helping newbies! Hopefully the changes I made allow the OP to see it, but I'm not holding out hope because it still shows as 'closed' despite my revision to the question. The only way he can find it on CP is a Google query for "block.at(i).at(j).value[^]" (in quotes).
Anyway, if he sees it, maybe he will benefit.

Nope, sorry: the correct answer is "Bazooka Barfing" and your letters count is incorrect...

You're a local, at least you might have some hope of getting what he is on about, what about the rest of the world, a big proportion take theirs green!

Wow, deja vu! I'm reading that again too. William Playfair's[^] Statisical Breviary was considered the first example of it, when I was lad!

If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected!
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office!
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these Election manifestos and speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven!
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river! ( to pocket the sanctioned funds!)
Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you for free!
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel!
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
I offer my political opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the City, State or the Country, it might be better to change the locks!

How dare you post such "serious" stuff with a joke icon?

Joke aside, this could have been an extract of what the Front National[^] program.
You sense the irony : Politicians who campaign with the message that politicians are crap, to be elected as MEP because to protest against Europe.

Reminds me of the traditional epitaph for MPs (Members of Parliament):
Here lies the body of our MP
Who promised lots for you and me.
His promises did not fulfil,
And, though he's dead, he's lying still.

Grandma: "For better digestion I drink beer.
In case of appetite loss, I drink white wine.
In case of low blood pressure, I drink red wine.
In case of high blood pressure, I drink scotch.
And when I have a cold, I drink schnapps."
Grandchild: "When do you drink water?"
Grandma: "I've never been that sick!"
