And yet you engage him. Why? You _know_ he is a troll, you _know_ he lies, you know his posts have zero mathematical content. Why can't you just ignore him? All his phony white knight posturing, indeed his entire reason for polluting sci.math, is that he can get other people to respond to his drivel. Put him in your killfile, where he belongs. Don't feed the troll!
