It would be easier if his posts were only bizzare or incoherent. Even his messia complex would probably be forgivable. The condescending, rude and racist things he says are just extremely hard to overlook. Giving one person a free pass at the expense of many others being able to come hear and not see racist, hateful speech tolerated. It's a shame as smart as he is he can't seem to figure out that certain terms are just not ok to use in a public forum (or anywhere really). I'm not even sure he means them as they are verbalized anyway.

Giving one person a free pass (...)
terry is given the exact opposite of a "free pass." he has created at least eight accounts at this site. all of them are now hellbanned.
Getting hellbanned for behaviour is not the opposite of a free pass, exact or otherwise.
And when he creates his 9th account and proceeds to use the n-word to insult people he feels are intellectually inferior to him - that one will be hellbanned as well, and rightly so in my opinion.
The guy learned how to write compilers and operating systems, surely he is capable of learning to stop using that term - at least on this forum.
If he didn't have schizophrenia, i'd completely agree with you. As it is, i'm not sure he is capable of learning to stop using any particular terms. At least not during an episode.
