If he is well known then please post his work address on this list so that we can all write a physical letter (you know, on the old stuff made from trees) and we can all bombard his boss and embarrass him. IF he really is ill then somebody at his work ought to see that he gets help, otherwise he will just pull embarrassment onto their office. IF he is "intelligent", as some would like to believe, then he must be reading this and realise that his social intelligence level is very low.
With all due respect, but your words give ample evidence that you have no experience with mentally ill people at all. This is not the place to discuss mental conditions, but I would like to be clear about one point. Rather than to embarrass a mentally ill man - if he really can be embarrassed - or to lock him away, I would prefer the list owners to take up their administrative responsibilities with due diligence. Who really should feel embarrassed is Novell/SuSE's list amdinistrator.
Umm, he's not that, he has Tourrette's. BIG difference. You know what it really is? It's ADD on steroids. That's it. Don't treat him like he doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. If he really has it he is indeed probably intelligent, and swearing is very common. Those are tics. A lot of us have Motor ones as well. Other people who have it: Kurt Cobain from Nirvana Me Trent Reznor shows symptoms... A lot of people on TV have it and the guys from Tool and even a lot of people on TV. The next time you're watching TV, watch closer. Count the number of times the person on TV blinks, see if they make strange noises, watch how they move. Do they seem to be offensive for no reason at all? Well there you go, that's what it is on the outside. Do they have high IQs? The lowest IQ I've actually seen on somneone with this, is 139. My IQ is 146, I'm above genius. Almost everyone who has it is. Now again if he really does have this, read up. If not he's an asshole. It's just bothering me on this list to watch people act like he's someone who needs to be in a hospital. The only time someone with what I have is in an institution is when whoever it is works there. --
