Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner apparently vented on computer game forum
Source: Washington Post

On Friday afternoon, an administrator who oversees Web forums dedicated to the game "Earth Empires" released dozens of posts believed to have been written by Loughner. The administrator, Dave McVittie, said the user who wrote the posts, identified as "Dare," had been identified as Loughner by other users who knew him.

That user name echoes the name that Loughner apparently used on another online forum, abovetopsecret.com. There, administrators said, he was known as "erad3" - "erad" is "dare" spelled backwards.

5. I was unfortunate enough to actually read some of his ramblings...

Long story short, his general logic goes as follows:

Sandwiches are made of bologna.
Kittens are cute.
Therefore, I like turtles.

And if he was getting called nuts on ATS of all places...he must've been something special.

I have maybe made a mistake is my assessment of your avatar, (tagger) because for that to be the case, you'd have to be at least somewhat rational, but I think youre frankly schizophrenic, and no that's not an amateur opinion and not intended as an uninformed or insulting remark, you clearly make no sense and are unable to communicate. I really do care.
Seek help before you hurt yourself or others or start taking your medications again, please. Maybe, it'd be better for some there be an infinite source of haldol or cogentin then fiat currency.
