Witness, for example, the following irrational outpouring of utter nonsense in his usual drain-gutter-sewer broken English:- "*T**elling none knew about it statements are not only insults but causing damages which is not properly rebutted and even a few who were doing it were threatened to become silent. So where the mind is with fear, and misplaced sympathy, we shall exist only as a vegetable.......... O**ur office peons dose while sitting horses do...... **One who ignores a rapist is a society crimer.."* If he is only a vegetable in his present state of diseased mind, and a "society crimer", why boldly and openly advertise those facts? The complete idiocy does not stop there. It continues unabated:- "*I need not show ther text every time; those who read mine would know better. 70% water includes all waters in the mountains and the forest and all are not not aqua-marines.*" This is the unmitigated fool who demands "authority" for everything everyone else says, but holds himself above par and exempted from his own rule. More evasive untruths from the habitual, serial, shameless liar, himself a lying barbarian only:- "*Roman history the truth versions are lying across the earth and now the west do accept that they were barbarians only."* The unmitigated perennial idiot had written:- *Hyna is an animal eating the waste and the greatest fearful animal.*" My response:- "Yet another example of muddled thinking coupled with guesswork gutter-sewer broken English." The incorrigible fool does not know that the hyaenas run off helter-skelter in terror at the approach of a lion or lioness, even if they had been feeding on the carcass of their prey. The fool had written:- ""*It is not untrue but real history could have been read before writing story*." My swift response was:- "This idiotic advice from a non-professional is followed by an extensive and wholly irrelevant rant." My present query to the "non-professional" idiot is:- "How do you read a story before it is written, as the sentence clearly indicates?" The frustrated blindsided fool now wrings his hands in despair at his own foolishness, and ends his diatribe with:- "*Hell with-it. KR IRS 13 12 23*." Yes, Hell is his assured destination, at the end of a shameful rapscallion life full of sin, frustrations and impotency.
