Not sane?  Or stupid enough to try to score points off someone who is
incapable of conceding them?  Or lying when you describe Peter?  You
must surely have better things to do.  Meanwhile, you surely noticed
that Peter is running rings around you.

In other words, you don't understand the concept of defense of the truth.

Nobody who matters takes Olcott seriously. There's no reason to defend 'the
truth' from him.

Quite.  But, worse, I think "defending the truth" is actually
"perpetuating the falsehoods" because PO posts simply in order to get
attention.  I suspect he has severe NPD -- his self-worth is entirely
determined up by the merit of the people he can engage with.  If people
stopped replying he'd stop posting. Sure, there would be an "extinction
burst" of insults and goading posts to try to get a response, but if
everyone held firm he'd have to go someone else for the fix.
