This is a normal post I disagree
He's a good painter and photoshop dude, and I've come to like watching people argue about history and politics with him, it's good to know people actually care about stuff like that. I'd rather see his posts than that damn SFW porn video popping up over and over again, at least he had some variation.

This is a normal post His art work is unquestionably great.
And I agree that it's good to have an interest in current affairs. He's certainly not your garden variety "troll", I do believe that there is a decent guy there. But he's a fanatic. And that's why there is no debate with Goat. Any attempt to do so is met with derision, condescension, and endless cut/paste of someone else's unquestioned rhetoric, as though that's the "truth".

I looked beyond that for quite some time. But lost patience when he started blatantly harass people for being educated in subjects that he holds with ignorant suspicion (math/science seem to be the big offenders). He also bullied people for being members of groups he didn't like, or simply suggesting that his "research" (cut and paste) was flawed.

He was also caught out in posting on /talk as an underage teenage girl, flirting with people, presumably in order to entrap them into writing something they shouldn't.

And it is a shame, because as I said, there's things that make him genuinely seem decent. But it's just lost in his approach :/

This is a normal post You have a point
He did seem to take stuff very seriously until someone wrote an equally serious criticism of what he was saying, then he'd change the subject or act like they were pathetic for caring. He never did say whether he seriously believed that aircraft were leaving mind control gas in their vapour trails...

But I don't know, it feels a bit harsh if we've managed to scare him off.
