Hi. No, I had no idea about his intent was. He posted way too much for me to read. I’ll be much more careful. Thank you. ---

Someone else told me he was a Nazi sympathizer. I had no idea. I’m sorry. ---

It feels like [**the law of reflection**](https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refln/Lesson-1/The-Law-of-Reflection) isn’t applicable to this poster. It’s more like throwing a rubber ball at a field of sharp-edged rocks: you absolutely cannot predict which way it will go on the bounce. [their ‘responses’ appear to be totally orthogonal to that which they _appear_ to be responding. Pretty cool, if you ask me !] ---

This appears to be resolved. If anyone has a compelling reason to re-open it, send me a PM. ---
