  Trolling for trolls, eh? ;-)

  I'm almost tempted to write him off as a very clever ironic sendup of trolls, kind of a Colbert of the Blogs. Or, perhaps more aptly, the Andy Kaufmann of Blogistan (who to this day I cannot tell whether he was kidding or not, despite having seen much of his SNL work and Man on the Moon). No one could possibly be this troglodytish and be willing to do so in full public display.

  Incidentally, in case he's for real, he might want to check out Proverbs, and what it has to say about liars, idiots and fools--and what happens to them due to their folly.

  "An intelligent person learns more from one rebuke than a fool learns from being beaten a hundred times." Proverbs 17:10

  Or perhaps

  "The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly." Proverbs 5:22

  Or maybe

  "Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars." Proverbs 9:1 (There are seven articles in the constitution, incidentally)

  Or maybe

  "Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, But in the multitude of counselors there is victory." Proverbs 11:14

  Or my favorite, famously quoted in an old film about evolution and truth-fearing fools:

  "He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart." Proverbs 11:29

  I see his decontextualized verse and raise him amply.
