If he only mentioned parboiling once, then I would quickly have
forgotten about it. It's been mentioned multiple times -- by him -- as
a proper cooking method just to troll. When others have pointed out
that it's not proper and a waste of meat, he yelps and has a couple
people come and act as his personal secret service body guards. So
I'll take some time out later today and actually dig up all his
previous references (if Google has them) on parboiling for your peace
of mind. (Not that this will change either of our opinions.)

The short answers were already provided:

and

Those are generally enough to create antipathy (in and from me) for
posters that continue to show no growth or a blatant willingness to
stagnate. He performs both of these task with a tour de force. I
rarely filter someone and often choose to rattle their little cage. In
his case, a tin cup across his bars suffices.

Non sequitur.

It's as deep a mystery to me why you and the handful defend him, too.
I find little worth firing one's imagination, refreshing, or
life-affirming from his posts. I _do_ find them impulsively repulsive,
pandering to provoke a response. It's enough to enjoy rattling a saber
in front of his face.

Our mysteries will just have to remain such.

due to more frequent flare-ups of Parentitis just don't remember
where. <sigh>
