..and this was his reply to the message, which i had also sent him
privately:

"Well buddy,

You are allowed your opinions just as I am. When they make you God then
maybe I'll listen. I guess you have a lot of time on your hands if you need
to put so much effort into complaining about something."

That's it. Not even an attempt to address any of the points i raised. I can
only assume that his "plan" so far is to grab a big buncha money, because
that's all he's ever talked about: how to get the money.
