Of course he is deluded, but so what?! I can read through his daily posts in 2 minutes or less...or I can NOT READ THEM AT ALL if I choose to simply skim past...or I can read them partially for misinformation that requires some correction. Mostly the information is so fabricated and contrived and transparently prejudiced that it requires no response and no defense. However, sometimes a more subtle innuendo needs to be countered.

In no case does his spew cause me any harm, and misinformation that is left unchallenged may harm the minds of susceptible individuals who have difficulty with logic and reason.

I also have the ability to read my newspaper and skim or omit articles that I find offensive or not useful. I realize that some people obviously like those articles so I tolerate them as a concession to civilization. If I find something egregiously misleading I write a letter to the editor.

It is good to know what the enemy is saying and what kinds of propaganda are reaching the intellectually challenged such as AS. Back in the 60's I regularly read the Peking Review--a communist propaganda rag. Because I did, I knew better than most just what a pile of crap was being sold to ignorant westerners about the marvels of communism.
