I wouldn't have much of an issue with Paul if he didn't derail so many discussions that could be useful, informative, or do good for someone. He pisses in the gene pool, so to speak, and really puts out a lot of disinformation that isn't even half-baked.

I think 99% of people have learned to ignore what he's saying, and just bait him into making a fool of himself, but it's the other portion of the GFY population that gets snagged.

Of all of the trolls here, he's probably the least offensive, but has the potential to do the greatest harm.

Look at people like Porno Jew, Dirty F, Rothstein, etc. They're WAY more offensive and "in your face," but what they say usually makes sense, has thought behind it, and is usually only offensive because it's nakedly true ... and the truth hurts.

Markham, on the other hand, couches his ridiculous half-assed "thinking" in a more pleasant way, but it's not only useless, it's harmful to actual thought. His lies don't even make sense to the most casual viewer. He's raking in the bucks (or raked it in previously, as the story sometimes goes), but he lives in a shack and his mail-order bride has to work menial jobs? Traffic is easy to get, yet he gets just a trickle himself compared to legitimate programs? The list just goes on and on every time he posts.

Even with all of that said, I'd still let him back. Clueless troll, but this is still GFY, not Pleasantville. It's people like him that MAKE it GFY.
