Right. So we're doing this Social Studies group study now.

All initiated by this one guy.

No sweat, we're fine with it, especially if it helps us improve.

But ohay! This particular d00d is now forcing his opinions down our throats. As if he's very good. As if he's the most knowledgeable on the subject. I beg to differ. Results show it, and you're not any better than any of us. So there.

We've discussed it as a GROUP. That's the point of group work. We've come out with all the necessary links, and as a group, formed about 2 paragraphs. Which almost have nothing to do with that person.

And then he comes in, states his opinion, and of course, we listen. Then he changes the work we have done. Editing was open. But he didn't freaking edit. He changed the whole paragraph. Now that would be perfectly fine if it was a good paragraph, right? Unfortunately it's not. There's no proper links, and he had also completely disregarded whatever discussion beforehand.

Thanks, man. You come in, after not participating for 45 minutes, and change everything. Commenting that the paragraph is too short, lacking of detail, but you can't do any better. Furthermore, the paragraph wasn't even short. You want a whole paragraph of infodump? And do you really think we have that much time in the exam to come up with a page long paragraph? I think not.

And if anyone of us rebuts his point, he takes offense. How is that a discussion, then? And knowing his character, we aren't even stoning his points. We're merely suggesting something to go along with it, or something that makes more sense.

Should i just go to hell with it and be blatantly direct? Or should i continue letting him go on and on for the sake of our friendship for the remaining half of the year? Please, do advise, since i'm seriously fed up now.

I've been there before D: And no, i don't think what i did will help you :P
I think the best thing to do is to tell him that he's being too overbearing; if he takes it badly, then...i have no idea, really :( if he takes it well, then that's good :)
That's all i can really say >___>
