"Kunich bore the flame of flaming writers on just about any subject
with no useful contribution to the thread except attempting to
belittle the previous writer."

If you want to dig deeper, here are 437 older posting by Tom from

Note that Tom head injury was in late 2009 or early 2010.  The
aforementioned comments were well before he could claim that his
rotten attitude was caused by a brain injury.
