This Ethan person undoubtedly has a very powerful personality.
He does not have a very powerful personality.
What he has is akin to intractable psychosis, which he forces on everyone else. The man has serious issues.
I’ve dealt with him before, back on another forum, and the best thing that can be done with him is to get rid of him, for the good of all.
Otherwise it’s just problem, after problem, after problem, ad nauseam.
