Where's Seth anyway? He thought I should go to jail for some reason. I don't want to gloat too much but it seems I was vindicated.

Oh he's around, choosing his words with utmost care and thereby tricking forum newbies to think that he argues for the existence of god, the last I saw. After all, isn't that the greatest intellectual achievement: to frame your words so that someone who does not know your online persona and is posting in good faith stumbles because they mistake your contextual inference or inside joke for a real argument? :sarcasm:
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Well, there's the problem that theist is just such an annoyance wrapped in a bother inside boredom that for all we know he actually might be a real theist in troll clothing.

Wow. Interesting stuff. It was funny reading all of his criticisms earlier on in the case. It wouldn't have surprised me if his call to have me imprisoned was the seed which planted in the claimant's brain because the day before the final hearing that's exactly what happened.
