Okay, now that I've read every page of this thread, I want to say that I believe "He's Back!" is probably that one guy who wanted to sue George Lucas for very stupid (but potentially lighthearted) reasons, but then proceeded to make idiotic arguments with people when they began laughing at him. The reason I'm guessing they're the same person is because . . .

1. They both hate George Lucas, a lot.
2. They both seemed more oriented towards liking the original-trilogy films (compared to the sequels and SEs), yet that liking was obviously shadowed by their hatred for the wealthy George Lucas.
3. They were both flaming, crazy, socialist-extremists.


Anyways, about Go-Mer, you guys, I wouldn't bother to read or reply to anything he says unless you intend to keep the debate very simple, always civil, and only for the purposes of exercising your own mind. He's either a troll that enjoys getting people worked up and angry (for the least amount of work on his part), or he's a guy who lives in a strange fantasy world where his logic is never required to actually work perfectly so long as he's always there to wish, with all of his heart, that it works perfectly!

In the case of him being a troll, eliciting anger and tangential arguments is exactly what he wants from you (since it makes him feel above you and at the center of his social world); so you probably don't want to give him what he wants in this case. On the other hand, I believe that it's equally futile to debate him in the possibility that he's choosing to be delusional (with regard to complicated subjects) because he'll simply not be able to connect anything you say in his mind (unless it concerns something he doesn't care about yet). Even if you were to keep your debate absolutely clear, reducing it to its most simple of terms (in an attempt to force him to see the basics of an issue), he'll simply run away from the discussion at that point and not reply. (Of course, Go-Mer could be a clear mixture of my two assessments, but, in that case, one set of behaviors is then probably more unconscious for him, in comparison to the other, and thus, again, you shouldn't bother trying to convince him of anything.)
