I hope you reported him if he violated the TOU.

I also hope he reads this and understands what a jerk I think he's being.

For you, a celebration of life poem. A Gerard Manley Hopkins golden oldie, but, especially read aloud to someone two or times times (for some reason), I think it is beyond beautiful:

Glory be to God for dappled things–
For skies of couple-colour as a brindled cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced-fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes– their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers forth whose beauty is past change;
Praise him.

Rambi: did this coward who PMd you indicate where...

...or how he or she intended to fund the rest of their lives?

Perhaps, this person was one who already made 'his fortune' and can keep the cash in Fed guaranteed CDs.

And therefore afford to arrogantly condescend to all others economically less fortunate.

I've found here (SI) and on some Yahoo! boards people who claim to be very wealthy -- retired at young ages -- who haunt the investment boards literally 24/7.

And it is those with the most (alleged) money who are the most vicious in attacking ... really, every thing and everybody else.

Revealing, IMO, horrible dissatisfaction with their own lives, despite having 'a lot of money.'

Sigh.
