I think that's more to distract himself from what he's SUPPOSED to be working on, maybe. Or at least that's how I work. All the calls and texts that I've ignored, even housework suddenly becomes more interesting when I'm trying to avoid shit I don't want to do.

Hours every day for 3 years? C'mon

Well, yeah. There's always time to avoid things in pursuit of conversations you can't really have with the majority of people in society. Especially if you feel like you're getting closer to some kind of truth with it, or sharing something you feel like is valid I would imagine.

If you say so. He seems to spend most of his time collecting subs like baseball cards, quadruple-posting links, and stirring drama any time it pops up. Doesn't paint a good picture

He's posting the links in several places because they're relevant to the sub though, right? It just kinda comes across as shitting up the /new area because we see it all at once there instead of just in the sub as intended. He wants to be helpful and manage all of those things too, but then there's the whole aspect of time and generally biting off more than one can chew.

Most of us are guilty here of being drawn to the turd cauldron of drama. It's part of the draw sometimes, a feature one might say.

Yeah that's why I also think he's not helping the site. He does all this bumbly stuff "by accident" and generally makes a mess of things. And when I tell him better ways to do it, he gets in a 50-paragraph argument with me about it. He's making the biggest mess he can without triggering a ban, is often what I see from him, unfortunately

I can see how you would be aggravated by it, at least it's engaging content though.

Imo maybe 10% of it is genuinely engaging imo. Most of it is just noise
