A blocked user has made some posts about telepathy. Someone else posted in one of them they had found his website. Until seeing that website I was laughing at this gentleman, but now I feel bad. It is extremely clear he is mentally ill. For his own protection would you consider hiding this stuff? Of course it may not be doing him any harm but it is impossible to tell.
