    Suspicious in the least! Drown in his own pool? OK!

    I would just like to know if you have a lot of duct tape and tin foil at home.

    OK, using "L@@K"? Seriously?

    That's the kind of crap you see on the subject line for spam emails about penis enlargement pills.

    How are you not permabanned yet? Or at the very least, rookified so you can't start threads anymore?

    A thought: You don't have to post EVERYTHING you see at AboveTopSecret that you think people here might be interested in. By now, everyone has seen what that site has to offer, and people who are intrigued can go visit it on their own without need for your delivery to the hangout service.

    Delusional disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis denoting a psychotic mental disorder that is characterized by holding one or more non-bizarre delusions in the absence of any other significant psychopathology. Non-bizarre delusions are fixed beliefs that are certainly and definitely false, but that could possibly be plausible, for example, someone who thinks he or she is under police surveillance. In order for the diagnosis to be made auditory and visual hallucinations cannot be prominent, although olfactory or tactile hallucinations related to the content of the delusion may be present.

    1.The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force.

    2.That idea appears to exert an undue influence on his or her life, and the way of life is often altered to an inexplicable extent.

    3.Despite his/her profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or suspicion when the patient is questioned about it.

    4.The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief.

    5.There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange things are happening to him, the patient accepts them relatively unquestioningly.

    6.An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility.

    7.The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the patient's social, cultural and religious background.

    8.The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other elements of his or her psyche.

    9.The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out of character, although perhaps understandable in the light of the delusional beliefs.

    10.Individuals who know the patient will observe that his or her belief and behavior are uncharacteristic and alien.

    11. Individuals constantly post random articles on unrelated message aboards regarding any odd new story that they read.

    a 67 year old man dying of a heart attack is simply unprecedented. there is no precedent. the rules have changed, people. this is real.

    Overreacting a little? This is the only questionably-offensive thing I've seen him post.

    Are you new around here? ToyCens rap sheet for crappy copypasta threads from conspiracy theory sites is a mile long.

    And that means he should lose posting privileges? I've seen a million idiotic threads here since 1997 or however long I've been around.

    He doesn't post that often at all. You must be quite fond of him to be always thinking about his threads.
