An infinitely precise clock would run at a rate of
zero seconds per second.

Make that 1 second per second, imbecile.

Hey fucking imbecile, a clock running at 1 second
per second has a rate of change of zero seconds
per second.

Perhaps a Zotkin sees it, but I don't see any change in
"An infinitely precise clock would run
at a rate of zero seconds per second."

That's because you still think time is what a clock
measure.

OK, I'll bite. If time is not what a clock measures,
how does one measure time, then?

At best, you're about to invent a "new" kind of clock.
At worst you've painted yourself into a philosophical corner.... ;-)

Yes, in his private absolute frame, centered around his belly
button.

Indeed.

Well, think of an absolute time. This requires
a preferred frame of reference (i.e. the frame
that relativists abhor :-). Only a clock at rest
in that preferred frame would measure absolute time.

Moral of the story:
Never bite when an idiot challenges you - He will <fill in as you wish>

Oh, you're no fun. ;-)
