	You underestimate the sort of behavior this particular fanatic
engages in.  He does not discuss anything with anyone.  If you attempt
discussion with him, the typical response has been one line of insults
followed by another report from his "sources".  



	What is being practiced is the "big lie".  I.e. these people 
post and repost their volumes of propoganda (10-14 messages per day).
They dont respond to questions, errors pointed out or much of anything
else.  They just post the same stuff over and over again.
	I mean he doesn't even have e-mail and is in all probably posting
under a false name.

	He does at the very least to create his fill-in-the-blanks 
"you are violating by constitutional rights" postings.
