man, that glenn scheper guy is weird!

[joeallonby]

My original take on Glenn was "This guy is WAY off his meds!"

I even encouraged people not to interact with him because I thought that it
would be potentially damaging to a person who was obviously in need of help
and possibly teetering on the edge of full blown psychosis.

I have since tempered that stance. He seems perfectly harmless and amazingly
stable considering his bizarre obsession. Some people filter everything
through Trotsky or feminism. Glenn filters everything through blowing
himself. Who's to say he's wrong? You really can't argue with him. I've come
to enjoy him, though obviously not as much as he enjoys himself.

So let's cut Glenn some slack. He's definitely out there. But that adds a
bit of spice, or in his case Spice Channel, to any discussion.

I'm dying to hear what he has to say about Colonel Pudding and Katje.


Peace,
Joe
