It's actually understandable why he has the wrong impression, having joined the group at this point and seen all the various tributes to MMY. That's why I urged him to have a look at the traffic here from before MMY died, when the posts were more typical. His motive for coming here in the first place after he heard about MMY's death wasn't exactly admirable, given his misunderstanding about the nature of the group. But the posts he saw have tended to confirm that misunderstanding, so he plowed right ahead in his mission to upset all us True Believers by dumping on MMY as we were mourning MMY's demise. As you say, he's interpreting the responses to his posts as objections to his opinions of MMY rather than as attempts to set him straight about the nature of this forum. It's really pretty funny.
