This. Couldn't have said it better myself. Knew he was on the way down when he stopped using the rubber ducky picture.

But seriously, serious mental help is needed for the guy. I'm talking lobotomies and straightjackets here.

I read that second link and many of the links in that article and found it very interesting. I wasn't very familiar with him and have only run into him once, and that was here.

I have no idea who this person is. I did a wiki search though. Couldn't find it there. Though when I went to youtube for Dennis Markuze I got links to Schizophrenia.  ???

Read the link Tank posted. You will learn more than you want to. In addition, if you manage to get through it all, you may wonder why you wasted so much time reading about a useless waste of space. Granted, I'm a slow reader.

I first came across him in 2006 when I joined Richard Dawkins forum. He posted there multiple times a day when he was in the mood.

I've run across him several times in every DB I belong to. I once banned him from another board and I THINK I banned him twice from the same board when he was using a sockpuppet.

Oh, but I doubt even the infamous Team Pudding is capable of inflicting quite the same kind of evil upon the unsuspeting Interwebs as the Ritalin sniffing Mabus...  ???

... ...

On second thought, we might just manage  ;D

I've never heard of this guy before... but then, this is the first atheist forum I've joined. I'm glad he got caught; not only does he sound like a pretty sick guy, it'll send a message to those of his ilk. Funny how you never know just how unforgiving some of the "believers" are until you catch them in an anonymous environment.

This guy was unique in my experience, nobody produced anything like the volume of spam this guy did. A serious nut case.
