See what I mean by "arranging his personal
reality so that he always comes out on top"?

In his mind, I must be pissed off because 
he *wants* me to be pissed off; in his mind,
"solipsist" is a "big word" I'm using to "sound
intellectual" because that's the way he *wants*
it to be.

"solipsist" on FFL in an effort to sound
intellectual instead of pissed off.
