    Did you notice the evidence - from 'etresoft' himself - confirming that
    he'd been stalking me long before I bought an iMac?

    He said "Your reputation precedes you, no matter what alias you are using."

    *A blatant lie*. I'd only ever posted on the ASC forums as HunterBD.

    Given all the examples of your interactions with such people you have
    shared here I doubt very much they would have seen it as help.

    You *think* you are helping, but that would be like stopping beside
    someone who had run out of petrol and shouting 'wanker, you stupid or something, running out of fuel ..' *even* if you were then going to take
    them to the petrol station.

    You have no sense of mindfulness or how to interact with 'strangers'.

    I would like to think this sort of advice (as given by many) would help
    you but know it will not.

    I know and why I said it. The sad thing you can't see just how

    You have no sense of mindfulness or how to interact with 'strangers'.

    You are mistaken.

    I am not.

    I run two Facebook Groups without difficulty.

    What, difficulty in the running of them or do you just not interact with
    them yourself?

    I would like to think this sort of advice (as given by many) would
    help you but know it will not.

    I appreciate your advice.

    No you don't. You might (pretend to) appreciate the fact that I bothered
    to read and reply to you but not the actual advice. You *completely*
    disregard the advice, you always do to the point where most people now
    question the motives behind you asking.

    What I would appreciate MORE would be if you
    were to correspond with Mark Allan and ask him WHY he didn't keep his promise.

    But why the fuck would I or anyone want or even be willing to do that,
    given the / your history?

    It's like you are smashing your head against the wall, people are
    suggesting you stop for you own good, you thank them for their advice
    but go straight back to smashing your head again? Is that how you make

    You are mistaken.

    I am not.

    No difficulty on either count!

    The only advice I have for you is stop your paranoid, drunken, rambling, repetitive posts here.
    Maybe you should "investigate" How To Get An Actual Life.

    What he seems to have done is 'given up' thinking for himself, possibly

    The problem is, you can interpret the magic book many ways and with his particular psychosis, that ends up being very 'off piste'.

    He doesn't seem to mix what he thinks he should do from instructions in

    Why is that odd? Neither seems to be that popular. But I *have* used them -- at your request (and ClaimXAV I used before when it was free).

    But really neither is that interesting to me.

    It's simply the truth.

    Exempt you aren't a particularly good example of someone who is able to
    judge or accept 'the truth'.

    It was like the recent episode of Dr Who, 'Boom' where there is a
    'religious' army who are fighting a war with a arms manufacturer.

    In a conversation with one of these religious soldiers they said they
    needed proof of this arms company and The Dr highlighted the point that
    they needed *proof* of that whilst not needing proof for their religious beliefs?

    I know praying for someone to get better can't hurt (given it's all
    fantasy) but it can hurt if they rely on prayer over real medical
    intervention.

    If I was laying on the road after a motorcycle accident the last words
    I'd want to hear are 'Don't worry mate, we've called for the crystal / homeopathic / faith healing ambulance'.

    It's funny (sad) to see people so desperate to confirm the 'worth' of
    their belief that they attribute some medical improvement because of
    their praying. It was really like they had never heard of coincidence or
    even, the power of the placebo effect.

    Have YOU tried running EtreCheck yet?

    Have you checked which way the wind is blowing?

    Yes. Always. It's second nature for someone with aviation experience.

    Weird that you haven't figured out that no one here is chomping at the bit to
    help you with your never ending stalking/sliming/harassment campaigns.

    I confess that I do find it strange that nobody reading here admits to
    ever having used EtreCheck *OR* ClamXAV

    Do YOU think that they are both OK products?

    Do you sincerely value my opinion? After all, I'm just a bloke on the Internet, according to you.

    Use them or don't use them, OK? You could have decided this question for yourself in a matter of seconds, or minutes at most, yet here you are, year after year, asking others to do your thinking for you. Grow a pair already.

    Growing 1 would be a vast improvement.

    You seem to be spot on.

    https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/mens-health.htm
    Excessive alcohol use can interfere with testicular function and male hormone production resulting in erectile dysfunction and infertility.

    https://www.healthline.com/health/testicular-atrophy
    Alcohol can cause both low testosterone and testicular tissue damage, both of which can lead to testicular atrophy.
    There’s no proven way to naturally reverse testicular atrophy.
