Aw, dear. I've known he had a blog but hadn't been reading it,
partly because I have enough silly things to occupy my day, partly as it
seemed like poor form to read someone else's diary with an eye towards
what's hilarious about it. It's different with Usenet posts; those are
made quite explicitly to be forwarded to the universe and responded to by
people who won't take you as seriously as you might want.

Well, James Harris has hit the math newsgroups again, doing his usual
grandeous, paranoid speel. Like you, I had been uneasy about those who find
amusement in the byproduct of someone's disorder. But as James's own entry
on NPD indicates, he is well aware of his problem, and he chooses not to get
therapy. I find that appalling. As Rotwang put it in one of the JSH threads,
"A man with two broken legs is not funny, but a man with two broken legs who
would rather try to run a marathon than see a doctor *is* funny."

It is hard to not watch a line like ``I can smell your weak
genes'' and not be amazed, though.

All of the "I will watch you die" entry is pretty scary. Is he trying to
announce his entry into the league of super villians?

Right now it's particularly annoying at sci.math as there's one
or two idiots who think the way to ``solve'' the James Harris ``problem''
is to post weak forgeries from ``jstevg'' or similar little variations
on his name with gibberish posts. Since, yeah, that's going to solve
the dread menace of a guy rambling about the Great Mathematicians
Conspiracy.

You know, what's amazing is that none of the imposters seem to get the tone
quite right. I guess you really do have to be crazy to write like James.
