You are arguing with a psychotic idiot. Look at the thousands of
lines Randy Poe patiently ground into Androcyst's face. Like feeding
medicine to the dead. The stooopid should not be fixed, for there is
nothing fixable about them. They should be expunged.

Forward Androcyst's crap to his ISP with a request for termination.
