The Muskets had it right, but they were the ones blocked for sniping at him. He accused them of libel, but in fact I think they were reporting on issues that made it to the local newspapers. There are a lot of bodies along the way regarding our old friend Ake. He was sometimes overt, sometimes sly, but he could never bite his tongue and stop trashing threads to keep making his point. His views of homosexuality and American politics, among other things, were posted to upset discussions.

There was a period of detente I can identify in my messages from him around 2014-15 when his wife was ill, but once she was in the nursing home and after her passing and he was on his own he seems to have gone a bit nuts on the threads. This is just an observation, whether correlation or causation I can't say.
