Well, I'm certainly not going to stop trying. Unfortunately, he has no respect for me, which may be why he's so keen to disregard me. Most of our arguments start because he won't be quiet, yet he always says it's my fault for being rude. Any time I try to argue that, he just stops talking. Which is what I want. But not if he's going to be so ungracious about it. Seriously, though, I've actually stopped listening at times and he goes at me about that!

He says he doesn't like bullies, but he sure seems like a verbal bully to me.
