I like how Merkey disavows himself of peyote though a simple Google search of Merkey and peyote yields countless posts by him on the subject. Anyone who claims Slashdot is BOTH right wing and socialist is a little confused as well. This guy has some serious issues here and I wonder if anyone's ever going to help him? I particulary enjoyed the ruling where a judge made comment on Merkey; here's the text:

In one message, he makes reference to a lawsuit Novell won against him, and that caught my attention, naturally. The name of the case, assuming it is the same individual, turns out to be Novell v. Timpanogos Research Group, Inc., and in his 1998 ruling, the judge mentions a Merkey-Microsoft connection. Note especially paragraph 158, where the judge highlights Mr. Merkey's signing off his emails to Microsoft "Your Loyal Servant". He was trying to do some business with Microsoft at the time. The judge had a few descriptive words for Mr. Merkey, as you will note particularly in paragraph 123 - 125 of the Findings of Fact: 123. Major testified that even though he has such a close business relationship with Merkey, he has to filter what Merkey says to find the truth, he is unable to control Merkey, Merkey is able to create his own reality which may have no basis in fact, and Merkey is prone to exaggeration. 124. In fact, however, Merkey is not just prone to exaggeration, he also is and can be deceptive, not only to his adversaries, but also to his own partners, his business associates and to the court. He deliberately describes his own, separate reality. 125. Major acknowledges that Merkey does not see boundaries; that if he feels strongly or wants to do something, he does it.
