Help for dyslexics

Dyslexia is a brain malfunction that affects a person's ability to read, write, and to understand what others have written. A severe dyslexic can be brilliant and still seem like an illiterate idiot on paper.

According to this article, a Dutch student who is himself dyslexic has developed a font that helps. The font has not been extensively tested, but it has been shown to improve a dyslexic's ability to read, and to UNDERSTAND what they've read.

Our Mad Stalker seems to be dyslexic, and it has been difficult having an online conversation with him, as he frequently has difficulty understanding what I've written. Other times, he'll create a sentence that is pure gibberish and claim that the sentence is clarity itself. Perhaps it IS perfectly clear, to him. It certainly isn't to anyone else I've discussed it with.

The communications gap alone has probably contributed to some of the pointless hostility between us.

It is my hope that information about this educational development gets spread far and wide, because dyslexia is a very difficult condition to live with. I want to help anyone and everyone who suffers from this problem. It may not ease tensions between OMS and myself, but it might.

Certainly it's deeper than that. It's not that BSI (big stupid idiot) is dyslexic, it's an EGO problem. He's right. Just ask him. He's right about everything always. If he writes something, it's genius. If he cooks something, it's gourmet. If he creates something, it's science. If he moves a muscle, he is to be idolized and his every movement heralded to the entire WORLD!!! Think Sheldon Cooper. Rather lose a war than admit that his teammate could know something he doesn't.

If you can't navigate his massacre of the English language, it's YOUR fault because HE IS RIGHT! If you don't get why he insists on using words like "this important matter" eighty five times in a sentence completely out of context and misspell every other word, YOU aren't enjoying the rich texture and deep fabric of his manuscript. He has bestowed this e.e. cummings-esk gold upon you like the king he is! BSI thinks everyone in all the land should feed him, cater to him, buy him stuff, and do this while he waves to his fan base (from all the movies he wasn't in) who are hollering his name and fighting to hear his every word! And YOU think his English usage is bad?? Who cares! I mean LOOK at him. Almost a God. Just ask him.

Ask his "wonderful family" who kicked him out because after over a decade of his sitting in front of his computer at MOMMY'S, they had FINALLY HAD ENOUGH of his gourmet brilliant science genius. So exhausting to be constantly exposed to that level of BSI.

Dyslexic. Nah. Malignant narcissistic megalomania with spelling issues.

[chuckle] I've never claimed he didn't have other issues; quite the contrary. But I'm not a psychotherapist, there's no effective treatment for sociopathy, and he's not a willing patient. In short, if I can help him at all, it's only on the dyslexia problem, and even that is hypothetical.

I grant that he'd rather die than accept any form of help from me, and certainly wouldn't show any gratitude in the unlikely event he did. But that's his problem, not mine. And as I said above, the idea is to get the information out, to help everyone who is dyslexic. Not just Our Mad Stalker. I merely nourish the probably vain hope that when he can understand what is written to him, when he can understand other online articles when they're presented to him, a little of his hostility will fade.

And if not, [shrug] I haven't damaged the status quo.

He's so full of lies and deceit. You're very generous to even CONSIDER any sort of communication with him after what he's put you through. My parents were just raped by the bozo. Lost a ton of money and he just walked away with his fingers in his ears lalalalalala. Makes me sick to think about it. His latest pomp and circumstance patriotic posting about how we should all honor our military makes me sick to my stomach. First of all, he has NO NEPHEW serving ANYWHERE. He has ONE sibling, a sister, and she's an old maid. No husband, no children. Therefore, no nephew. Further, if his father or grandfather ever saw what a loser lazy bull$hit artist he is, they'd disown him. If he wants to HONOR his family, he'd act HONORABLY by getting a job instead of living off of his relatives, act as if he had some character and not be such a selfish jerk, and do some patriotic work WHICH he has never done not even to the level of picking up trash after a fourth of July picnic. He's a FAKE patriot. And a LIAR. Trying to get on camera at illegal immigrant protests is NOT a patriotic act. Reading to a veteran IS. AG has some real issues with EGO and priorities.

I'd just as soon help him with his dyslexia without ever communicating with him again. I don't expect his other problems to go away just because he can finally read. Truth to tell, I want to deprive him of one of his excuses. (He once claimed that his spelling and sentence structure were so poor because he was using a Blackberry. I reminded him that he'd been making badly written posts before the Blackberry had even been invented.)

Someday, I hope you'll contact me in email and tell me your own story. Perhaps we can join legal forces in court.

I think there's a possibility of a collaborative effort. It appears that there has been another complaint about recent stalking activity with one of his exes. Between your case, the USS Angeles' case with the signs erected in front of the Japanese Garden and near member's homes and his exe's complaint, there may be more than enough material to proceed. I'll try and reach his ex.

I don't doubt that there's more than enough evidence to show both a persistent pattern of behavior, and malicious intent. The only way I could get him to stop contacting me on IMDB was to add him to the Ignore list a few months ago.

Yes, I saw that, however you probably need to know that within the last week he has posted four entries. All of them state that he has not contacted you or mentioned you or in any way tried to intermingle your lives and you have no right to post anything about him. Because he has not contacted you. In years. You can tell he hasn't contacted you by the four postings about you stating that he has not contacted you. Over and over he talks about how you, a depressed yah dah yah dah, have been picking on him relentlessly while he, the poster of four entries about you within the last week, has not uttered your name in a decade. He has not contacted you and those four posts about you evidently don't count. LMAO! This guy is just a massive cloud of hypocritical bullshit.

Has he now? I guess his frequent posts addressed directly to me somehow don't count as "contacting" me.

[shrug] Well, it didn't take me the last twelve years to figure out that he's a liar; more like a couple of weeks, if that long. That doesn't change the fact that I want to help him with his dyslexia, at least. The rest of his problems are his to work out.
