   Toying...? I don't mean to be insulting, but your hypothesis   
   presupposes that he/she/it has the necessary neurological machinery to   
   engage in certain activities. Such, however, is obviously not the   
   case. Let's not confuse random nonsense, devoid of any rationale with   
   functional brain activity. Although his occasional fragments of   
   unfocused reflection may provide some amusement for this poor chap, it   
   is of no inherent significance to anyone else.   
   I suspect that most posters responding to his anguished wails about   
   Europe's eminent socioeconomic decline are keenly aware of his   
   self-aggrandizing to the point of pathology. Any reasoned debate is   
   impossible with simpletons; one can however dispel certain pervasive   
   myths, which are held even by "educated" people who should know   
   better.

   Figures. But don't take it badly. Some "quirks" last well into   
   adulthood.
