Another word for "willfully ignorant"
I'm looking for another word for "willfully ignorant". I can think of prejudiced (too specific), close-minded (again kind of specific), restrictive (too neutral).
It is the active part I am missing. Perhaps think of a "troll" or a similar person who think they can "win" by being destructive.

Perhaps biased, discriminatory, partisan, one-sided, partial... Let me see if I got it: you are looking for an adjective that describes someone who only sees one side of the question, or who listens only to the arguments of one side (ignoring those presented by the opponents), are you not? If that's it, words such as biased and one-sided are very powerful in conducting that idea.
