An especially clueless guy, considering 90% of the world's
usenet servers no longer support cancels.

Hi.

It is not MIS,  it is MI5 one of the British Security Agencies.

The loony needs to be identified and locked up in a nuthouse, rather than be
getting not-treated in the Community.

Hello, ASAAR:

Well, those "M15" garbage posts appear on my news server (Concentric)
and on Google Groups <http://groups.google.com>, too.

I've also seen them in the handful of NFL football newsgroups that
I've been perusing, these past few weeks. Furthermore, they've even
penetrated <news:nebr.sports.unl>, which is a moderated NG!

Cordially,

Dave,

I have a young relative who is schizophrenick.  It has ruined his life, but
his medication allows him to lead an almost normal independant life.

When he stops taking the meds, as all of his co-sufferers do from time to
time, he gets taken in and treated until he is back on the level again.

This nutter is obviously escaping the attentions of the medics, but needs
locking up and treatment.

I have known several people with paranoid schizophrenia. Most of them have
difficulty keeping employment or even a place to live. At worst, they think
that their medication is part of a plot to poison them, so they won't take
it. Many of the homeless people you see living on the street are paranoid
schizophrenics.

It is also humiliating. You remember the crazy stuff you said and did, and
you know that family members and friends remember it, too. You get to the
point where you can't even look people in the eye any more. Some sufferers
are so embarrassed they cut off all ties with people they know -- leaving
themselves completely without a support group.

And it can be very dangerous. Violent behavior is not uncommon -- and that is
when they have to be locked up. One man I knew escaped from a mental hospital
in Utah, stole a car in Salt Lake City, a gun in Idaho, then drove to the
Seattle area where he tried to break into an apartment complex in order to
kill all the Russians living there (there were, in fact, several Russian
families living there, but they were not spies). Fortunately an alert police
officer saw him breaking in and was able to convince the man that his mission
had been changed and he needed to return to "headquarters" (the police
station) for new orders. It would have been a little bit funny except for the
loaded .45 automatic pistol the man was carrying. If he had gotten in he
almost certainly would have killed people.

Another man, poor fellow, finally had to be committed to involuntary
treatment after he was seen running around an apartment complex, stark naked,
hiding behind an imaginary pink couch in the middle of the lawn, and shooting
with an imaginary pistol at children playing in the pool.

It is tough on landlords, too. One woman kept tearing up the floor of her
apartment because she was convinced someone had buried her baby there (she
was more than fifty years old). All of her neighbors moved away, leaving
their apartments vacant, because of her constant harassment and accusations
that they had killed her baby.

Uhm, you mean like you just did?  ;^)

He doesn't need encouragement to keep going, and ignoring him doesn't
discourage him (or his type) - he's been going strong for years with
this same persecution crap.  So killfiling IS about the only option if
you want to not see his drivel.

Just killfile him.  He almost never changes his "email address" of
MI5Victim@MI5.gov.uk (bogus, of course) and his subject lines virtually
always include "MI5 Persecution:".  With those two filter criteria, you
can killfile 99% of his articles AND the replies.

for those with rexepr filter capabilities, use:

^Subject:.*([Rr][Ee]:\ *)*MI5\ Persecution:.*^$

and/or

^From:.*MI5Victim@MI5\.gov\.uk.*$

For those with simpler filters, just use the "MI5Victim@MI5.gov.uk" for
a "From: [contains]" filter and the "MI5 Persecution:" portion of the
subject line as "Subject: [contains]" filter.  Make sure you use the
"contains" and not the "is" or "equals" option.
