Because it bruises his grossly overinflated ego, hurts his feelings,
and makes him so foot-stomping furious that the only thing he can do is
resort to immature name-calling.  (He's kinda like Sauer in that
regard).

Here's my take on the story - -

Tim Richardson did it to him a few times in Debate, back before the
Klahnsman banned Tim from the echo.

The Klahnsman got his panties in a knot, searched the echo rules, and
couldn't find anything to nail Tim for.  He then posted to Tim,
talling how it wasn't against echorules to ignore the post of another,
but it was his opinion that it should be impermissible there to
_pointedly_ ignore another poster. The Klahnsman indicated that he
intended to approach Peter Bradie about adding an echo rule which would
specifically address his self-centered complaint in that regard.

That was back when Peter was absent from the echo for several months,
while undergoing chemotherapy treatment for lung cancer.  My guess is
that Klahn pestered Peter about it via email, and Peter, being somewhat
under the weather, didn't waste much time contemplating granting the
little guy's request to add a special rule just for the benefit of
him and his delicate ego.

By the time Peter got better and started trying to get caught back up in
the echo, and Peter published revised echo rules (a day or two later
added to and reposted by Klahn, not Peter), Tim was gone and the
Klahnsman's desire to have this special rule added to shield his ego was
a moot issue.
