Such a tactic never really works, of course,

Disagreement and criticism terrify him
because they both threaten his armor and
validate his opinion of his real self as
unacceptable.
He's in an awful bind, and one has to feel
sorry for him on some level, but he's so
consistently viciously obnoxious it tends
to overwhelm any compassion one might feel.
One just wants him to drop the act and be
authentic, and the only way to do that seems
to be to keep pounding away at the armor in
the hope that one day it'll just give way.
That's a quick summary...
And now for the bad news...
