Do you think we could submit him for the "Darwin Awards" for next year? :)


: First off, the so-called death threat was issued as part of on going flame war
: between Nabil, an ex-roomate of his and the ex-roommate's friend, the war
: heated up recently with Nabil holding his ex-roommate's mail hostage (most
: notably a GST tax return check) which resulted in the ex-roommate's friend
: issuing the obviously forged "death threat," basically it's an issue from
: Nabil's own personal life.

Now, does he still have that cheque?  IF he does, he obviously wants his 
ass thrown in jail, as it is quite a nice federal offence...you know, 
maybe this is just his way of making a cry for help...being a kook isn't 
all sugarcanes and loolipops underneath a pink marshmallow 
sky...Mmmmmm...marshmallows :P  But, I digress...:) Now here's 
question...which issue was it?  I mean, out of the hundreds of millions 
of things wrong, which one was it?

: His "investigations," as he calls them, are his incessant, endless,
: incomprehensible, mind-bogling, delusional rants that he posts dozens at a
: time to two local newsgroups; tor.general and torfree.general.

Like the I-Comm bit :)  HA!  Withholding others mail and persuading 
people to use unregistered copies of software...Damn!  The list just 
grows :)

: While nobody is quite sure what the allegations are that Nabil is
: "investigating" he rants on and on about how evil the local Free-Net is and
: how it's volunteer managers are sinister schemers bent on preventing Nabil
: from saving the TFN and the world.

He rants and raves about this place, but is still here...glutton for 
punishment...oh well...whatever floats your boat...TFN is EVILLLLLLL }:P

: Nabil, of course firmly believes that the world would be a much better place
: if the "Higher Authorities" would only listen to him and take his
: "investigations' seriously. This "death threat" is his key.

Has about as much a chance as the I-Comm bit...

: +  I  shall never quit.  

: Nabil imagines himself to be a crusader, a brave soldier, and as he often
: describes himself a "visionary"

More like "delusionary"...

: He shall never quite jousting at windmills, because if he did he would have to
: stare into the futile emptiness that is his life.

Awwwwww...too bad.../me whips out the smallest fiddle in the world and 
begins to play a sad, sad song...

: The alt.usenet.kooks FAQ describes a kook as "Anyone who posts uniquely
: strange, preferably incomprehensible articles, or who manifests a persistent,
: extreme, and somewhat bizarre obsession"

Square peg in a square hole...how about that!

: I think all will agree Nabil matches this description to such a amazing degree
: that one might think is was writen about *HIM* specifically.

Could be...

: More information can be found at Marc Bissonette's "Nabil Paranoia Archive" at

Please visit this site...if you need a laugh, then definitely go!  If you 
just think that all this is just a sick little vendetta, this will set 
you straight...

: Thank you and please vote Nabil Mohamed El-Khodari KoTM!

No, thank you for providing us this wonderful opportunity!

: Cheers,

Cheers Mates,
