I've just sent a PM to Kevin about the latest extremely bad poster--I hesitate to give him more publicity, but he simply must be stopped, and NOW.
He posted this garbage on Wikipedia and has been told that he will be blocked from Wikipedia if he keeps it up.
He apparently has some kind of grudge against Bernadette.
Do what you think is necessary about this nut case.

There's a handy little "vote it down" link at the bottom of every thread. Don't forget to use it whenever you think it's necessary. A certain number of hits will automatically delete a thread.

Very few things make me as angry as when people say that animals don't have souls. I voted that whack job down.

Good point, Karen, though when posters latch onto an already established thread I wouldn't want to make the thread disappear but instead contact Kevin who can just delete the particular posts.
I do definitely use the vote it down when a new thread is started by someone trying to start trouble.

My thoughts exactly, BroadwayBabyGal.

This wouldn't be the same poster that put the nasty comments on Bernadette's official site would it? In our family we have a rule "if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all" maybe he too should follow this rule. Ugh now I'm grumpy!

Oh, wow. I wasn't aware he had posted on her official site too. He's really on a roll with his mania right now. No need to be grumpy; he's not a bad person--just obviously mentally ill. His various obsessions, especially the "suicide vaccine," are like textbook examples of the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. You can't really get mad at someone who's in the grip of those kind of delusions.

So it is the same guy? Isn't there something that the manager of Bernadette's website can do? Okay you're right, no need for grumpiness, I will just be thankful that Kevin doesn't allow such rubbish onb this site. Thank you Kevin.

Yes, it's the same guy, James Sorrell of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If it were me, I would have deleted the subject poster's rants (on the official site) and not addressed his incoherent ravings--he is just getting attention, which is what he wants and needs.
Karen is exactly right, this is so obviously a manifestation of some sort of mental illness. You really can't have a normal, rational discussion with him.
I suspect it may stop soon, he will either go [back] on his medications, he will decompensate further and be unable to organize enough to post, or he will be barred from the University of New Mexico, where he appears to be posting from.
I am also giving him too much attention, so I won't post again about him, but I am, as I'm sure the rest of you are, keeping an eye out!

*sigh* He's still around and branching out to some of my other sites. I'm now in contact with UNM's information security department to correct the situation.

I sent an e-mail to her official site earlier today after noticing that he had just reposted some even worse stuff than before. They've since taken his message down.
