He has a lot of what I call 'bait' comments, trying to get people to respond in a way that allows him to tear them down. He already knows how he's going to answer the next step in the conversation, having prepared the material long ago. Though it's not quite copy/paste, it's close, kind of like a telemarketing script. I hardly see anything constructive, and find myself often downvoting him due to repetitive baiting with no end in sight.
