The user Lifeisgood is a narcissist.

I accept the definitions. Now for the arguments. "1) Take a look at this thread: http://www.debate.org...... and look at 90% of LIG's rebuttals. His rebuttals are basically: "You are intellectually inferior to me, your opinion if sh!t." On the issue of abortion I am very emotional. On that particular thread I was having great difficultly responding to every single post there, so I became exasperated. I said some hasty things there that I greatly regret now. I actually wince when I see that thread; I associate it with my failure. It was simple frustration and stress for the most part, not narcissism. "There are many instances of LIG's narcissism, but this is the most glaring (Page 5): I wrote: "**Do you understand how much of a narcissist you are sounding like? You are basically saying 'I won, the voters are stupid, and I'm always right... So, duh, I won (by a landslide).'" LIG responded: "You asked for a reason. You interpreted my response in a negative way, that is all. I was not trying to be arrogant. I can't help it that I'm always right." >"I can't help it that I'm always right." Wow, that is pretty much the definition of narcissism." Do you honestly believe I was being serious there? I even said on the thread that I was joking. I ask the readers, how many times have you heard someone say something like that? And how many times were they serious? There, I was trying to admit that I had been acting arrogantly in a light-hearted, disarming way. I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that I would be taken seriously… "2) Lifeisgood and I originally had a debate on Abortion (here: http://www.debate.org......). He messaged me on August 19th to discuss Abortion further. The message in full is here: Part 1: http://i30.tinypic.com...... Part 2: http://i27.tinypic.com...... The two most glaring instances of narcissism in the message: "First of all, why are you in favor of abortion, even after your pwnment in our previous debate? Why are you still convinced?" "Anyway, are you afraid to discuss the issue of abortion with me?" Each of LIG's posts are just oozing with narcissism. I have no other comments, the evidence is quite clear." Read my final comments. I wasn't being a narcissist; I was trying to be silly. I made the mistake of thinking that Nags and I had a better relationship. In the first comment, I was just being ridiculous. As Nags said in the discussion, look at the current score on the debate. That isn't pwnment! That is the second closest debate I have ever had. In the second comment, I was a bit afraid that Nags would quit. So I gave a little friendly goading to make him want to show me how wrong I was. That's all. In one message, I said "Do you have anything better than that?" There, I was again trying to goad Nags into a thoughtful response, and again I thought our friendship was stronger than it actually was. My mistake. "3) LIG just made a thread on his narcissism here: http://www.debate.org...... He makes a good case for his own narcissism: "Sometimes (perhaps frequently) in my comments, I say ridiculously arrogant things, or just plain silly, nonsensical, statements." "What's worse, I seem to have thoroughly convinced Nags that I am an arrogant, intolerant idiot who thinks he's always right." "People who don't know me well get the impression that I some sort of extreme narcissist." I also make it very clear when I make those statements that I am JOKING. Those statements are supposed to be so ridiculously arrogant that a sensible being would never make them seriously. However, you people don't know me well enough to see that I am a sensible being, which is my primary mistake. Over the internet it is very difficult to express things like emotion and tone. When you cannot see someone face-to face, with only little black markings to represent you, it is incredibly easy to misinterpret what is being said. I am afraid that is what has happened here. I have never thought of myself as better than anyone here, nor do I fancy myself as being incredibly well educated. I understand my limits. Sometimes I am selfish, but not unusually so. I like myself, but not unusually so. Do I make arrogant comments? Yes, in jest. At other times, I am merely frustrated or upset, and I do not intend to cast myself in a superior light. Do I make these jests at inappropriate times? Sometimes. Do I delude myself into thinking that I am more than what I am worth? Never. I am no narcissist.
