Send a malicious Email?
Become a foot rest ?

He's going to wind you up.

Hurl abuse at people online, call them paedophiles and then claim
that he is a victim when they retaliate?
Repeatedly make a group departure announcements and then not go?
Claim advanced knowledge in many areas but fail to back it up?
Move into a specialist NGs populated with genuine experts and then
claim that he knows more than they do and then get laughed out?
Send poison pen letters hinting at paedophilia?(accusations of
paedophilia seems a common trope in Gareth-isms.)
Make a random incorrect assumption about a person then use it to hurl
abuse.
Claim to be a pacifist and use that moral high ground to hurl abuse
at people despite having to be restrained by police to prevent him
assaulting a woman?
There are sooooo many ways to "Do a Gareth". It is so much quieter
now that he has gone.

I sort of miss the old days when we had proper loons.
John Boatwright the evangelist was amazing in his attempts to bend
every thread into Jesus.
Mike Corley the MI5 guy was interesting when lucid. Sad when not. he
even had an opera written about him.
Bob MacElwaine the 'physicist' who RANDOMLY capitalised WORDS was
always good for a physics discussion.
Archimedes Plutonium. He had some weird views on physics. He believed
that we all lived inside a plutonium atom.
The modern online world is just loud and aggressive.

I thought he was still around? David Dalton is still going strong and
still trying to find The Answer.
I chat with a local(ish) bipolar bloke on twitter. He's a nice bloke,
and an encyclopedia of anything music related, but the thoughts that
invade his mind during a troubled period are pretty scary. It must be
awful for him.

One of my mentors when I was a placement student had Bipolar
disorder. He was brilliant and had a stacks of patents in his name.
The company loved him because of his huge output of new ideas while
in a 'manic' phase but he drove himself into the ground and had a
huge heart attack. He was the sort of person that everyone consulted
from the MD downwards. If you had a broken gadget, he would fix it.
No airs or graces and treated everyone the same.
He was also a radio amateur (as were a lot of people at my work - it
was a communications firm dealing in radio and emerging phone comms)
and mentored a lot of new amateurs.

Just bought a CNC router (Sainsmart 3018) I'll set it up on the
weekend, probably. Your type of thing?
My latest toy is a QRP rig for SOTA that I still have to try out in
anger. Silly prices on multi-band SDR based kit just now.
I have the rig, the key, the EndFed and the tuner. I just need some
weather and an obliging sky.

That sounds like a fine toy. I have still to get a 3d printer but it
and a CC router/miller is on my list.

Be careful, maybe "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"
