I was not familiar with the nature of his other posts. This is my first
interaction with him. But from what you say, it seems that I am
attributing more guile to him than is merited.

Nah, Raj Patel is the messiah. Look it up. Naomi Klein is his handmaiden.

Well, _someone_ took a perfectly good document and screwed it up by
typing in it. Maybe not you, but it did happen.

Yes, I guess. All efforts to reform my irritable character faced
a serious challenge from nearly every post or thread from this
guy. There are very few theists that I have real respect for. I
took his posts to my regular classes at the Dale Carnegie School
course of How to Win Friends and Influence People and even the
teacher started throwing the blackboard rubber around in anger
when he read them...
