Scott,

What you've got on your hands is a jerk. The platform has nothing at all to do with it, and please don't waste your time trying to convince him that any particular tool besides his is worth anything, or that what he says is wrong.

I'm sure you'll find that he thinks his particular favorite sport is the only "real" sport, and his particular way of cooking a steak is "the only way."

Underneath is probably an insecure person. When he tries to upset you, smile and say nothing. What he's really trying to do is dominate people and will be frustrated if he can't dominate you.

Best of luck!
