Austin-

Keep arguing with Gerald, and you'll eventually end up banging your head
against the wall in frustration. And then you'll be as insane as he is!

I've previously identified him as the flame warrior Ferous Cranus:
<http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ferouscranus.htm>

"Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason,
persuasion and new ideas...Though his thrusts
are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed
in every detail...he will remount the same attack
again and again with only the slightest variation
in tactics....ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus
cannot be moved."


If you want to make an occasional point from time to time for the rest
of our sakes, go for it. But don't try to convince Gerald of anything...
it isn't possible.

I know...Brings to mind an old (and true) adage about arguing with a
fool...
