He's pretty strange, but I don't think his penchnt for entertaining himself by trolling and putting people on qualifies him as mentally ill. It's quite clear to those of us who've observed his behavior for many years that he doesn't actually believe his own nonsense; he just gets off on freaking folks out who take him seriously. He rationalizes this by thinking of himself as a kind of "crazy wisdom" trickster, i.e., one who appears crazy but is actually conveying a higher wisdom by challenging people's attachment to mundane reality. Whether he's successful at this or is just indulging his own ego is another question entirely. Me, I suspect he's subconsciously afraid he'll be rejected as a serious person if he puts himself out there as such, so he deliberately sabotages that possibility. Which is actually a shame, because he *does* have a lot of genuine knowledge and understanding to contribute. Every once in a while you'll see a bit of it in his posts.
