What's interesting is that earlier, Mr. Parker's challenges to the group
would be to see who could get married first.

Then he began making statements which showed him to be totally against
marriage, but okay with multiple long term sexual partners, unless they
were someone else's, in which case he was totally against MLTRs.

Since it appears that Mr. Parker is unable to sustain even the most
simple of romantic relationships for any substantial period of time, it
would make logical sense that he would get some relief (misunderstood by
him to be pleasure) out of hearing about the learning experiences of
others (misunderstood by him to be failures).

If Alex had continued his pattern of dating and marrying unmedicated
bipolars, then I could be justified in considering his marriage a true
failure. However, he has shown no indication that such is the case, and
in fact his postings indicate a different behavior so I trust that he
learned from his experience.

Mr. Parker, on the other hand, seems singularly focused on making sure
that he attempts to accomplish things in a very particular way, in spite
of empirical evidence that his attempts are not successful. He may make
a minor superficial change here and there, but the core approach of his
strategy remains exactly the same as it did a decade ago: attempt to
discredit any potential competitors, steal their ideas and attempt to
place intellectual property rights on it in his name, be antagonistic
until someone gets his buttons pushed and then attempt to play the
helpless victim in court or in public, lie about credentials and
expertise, and when all else fails, play God. (The strategy is actually
far more spaghetti-tied than this, and several tactics are missing, but
this is a good starting representation of Mr. Parker's modus operandi.)

This is why Mr. Parker is a failure. He refuses to learn from his
mistakes or accept criticism. The spelling errors in his signature line
are as vivid an example as any. He has been made aware of these errors
for some time. Unless Mr. Parker is incompetent with the use of his
posting software and does not know how to edit his signature, he is
demonstrating that he is unwilling to take the 10 seconds necessary to
make the appropriate changes and save them. He seems actually proud of
the fact that these mistakes are in his writing, even though he also
claimed to be a 100%% error-free typist several times in the past.

I guess he would rather be perceived by the public to be so stupid he
can't spell (or can't use his software properly) than to be seen as so
weak that he would correct spelling errors noticed by others.
