Reply #9: The person you are referring to is **cough, cough** "eccentric" in the extreme

You can get a better understanding by reading his posts in the Energy/Environment Forum.

Basically, he has weird tautological, paranoid views about everyone who is not as enthusiastic as him about nuclear power, and claims every single one of them is some sort of fundamentalist who loves fossil fuel. Trying to explain his views is impossible because it would be like explaining the views of that guy on the subway who claims to be channeling CIA instructions through his dental fillings. In other words, it's just non sequitur crazy rambling.

No amount of asking him to explain himself or converse rationally or civilly has any effect whatsoever.

DK finally banned his ass, but he still hangs out here.

I would just add this to what bananas said: in the same way that he tends to be wildly defensive about his own "issues" and project them, I find it interesting that in the same DK post, in which he sets out to wildly attack anyone who doesn't understand his obesity, he says he was about to wildly attack anyone who doesn't understand schizophrenia.

Now that's interesting, isn't it?

I had in preparation here a diary - not to be published ultimately - called "A Snarling Pack of Uneducated Malcontent Dogmatists Mocking A Disease" which was about schizophrenia, but could have been about the disease obesity, which is now an international epidemic.

While that web page is just me complaining about being extremely ugly - also a genetic condition...

Explains a lot.
