Twerk, you need some humility 
Writing this for the benefit of all who post on Cougarfan.
I have gone back and forth for years trying to deal with Scott, the Hopper. He drives us all crazy but he is not going away. I just choose to ignore him, which for a narcist, is a big insult. so I would say at this point, when he acts normal or is in a agreeing state of mind, interact with him if you choose to but if he throws an insult out at you. just act as though nothing happened and don’t ever replay.
Sorry that is the best I can think of. Seeking harmony here and I would like to see people stay on this board, we have lost way too many due to his combative nature.

Agree. I just deleted a fairly long draft post pounding on h., but decided that is not the approach I should take. I like yours better.
I’ll just offer up two things - how’s that second shooter conspiracy coming along? It is an example of the next point.
I think it is not so much narcissism, it is rather a deep persecution complex that is the basis of how he forms and presents his opinions. I have found it consistently so over the years.

5 days ago, this post was about Cody Hagen. Floyd Edwards made a great post about Cody and where he grew up. Many of you here congratulated him, including Tom Larimer, JCoug and THawk.
Hoppers post was:
Judging others again?
over the next 4 days, Hopper argued with Jim, THawk, Floyd, Fernk and everyone but god himself. Hopper brings his testimony into the argument. Then proceeds to call everyone names.
Considers himself to be a fine outstanding member of the church, never considering for a moment that the original post was highjacked to be replaced with 4 days of chaos, Ending with Hopper whining:
(another classic example of Nacissism)…everybody else is being mean to me
This has been going on since I 1st came onto Cougarfan.
What is obvious to me is that Hopper has never considered what others think of him (an outstanding trait of Narcissism) and that is the big problem here. To listen to others and consider their viewpoint is very much like gift giving. We all try to return a favor if given, that is the human experience. The same holds true for sharing of thoughts. To consider what the other person wrote, and the time that person took to write down those thoughts. to acknowledge their viewpoint and/or to disagree, while providing proof or some evidence would be a way to show respect to other posters.
SO, if you want to play the Hopper game, just remember: As long as you continue to reply to Hopper, he will keep dishing it out. Ignore him and that argument dies on the spot.

I don’t really want to admit it because I know the Hopper personally, but there is some truth to what you are posting here.
I wish it were different. I think it can be different. I don’t know if it will ever be different.
Therein lies the issue. Only one person can make it happen.
