7. Because that's what he does.

When he crashes and burns in one thread, he runs to start a new one to re-frame the discussion in a way he believes will be more favorable to his position.

We see with this thread that he now is taking one statement from a single webpage and trying to make it the be-all, end-all definition of whataboutism so he can proclaim himself innocent of using the fallacy once and for all.

It's dishonest, deceitful, and despicable. But also exactly what we've unfortunately come to expect.
