I must not have been lurking that week. Any idea what finally set him off?
Here's some of it, if you're curious.

You can just look for other threads around that date and see him freaking out on other ones too. I think that was the one he gave up, so it would be threads slightly earlier where he was also freaking out.
Oddly enough...the Tenet drama. He had a serious autism against YouTubers in general or something, said they were guilty because the government brought an indictment so it was official (even though he got all the facts wrong), and said he'd throw even people he liked like the Lotus Eaters or Count Dankula under the bus if their governments (which already hate them) came for them, as long as it was official. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but he doubled down on it super hard. It went pages deep, over multiple threads. Everyone was calling him wrong, so he started calling us retarded Redditor bootlickers for "defending scum" or whatever.
Basically, classic autism, where he couldn't even understand that people were talking about two different things. I know I personally said time and again that I didn't even like most of the Tenet people, but the principle was important. And he still just kept calling me and others retarded fanboys.
Basically, it was a very disastrous combination of extreme autism and the latent respect for government authoritarianism that seems to be in most UK subjects.
It was quite the blowup though...he really just wasn't getting anything, and called out everyone else for being wrong and "misinterpreting" him...by repeating his own words back to him. He'd say you were getting his whole point wrong...and then agree with what you were saying he was saying. Over, and over, and over, and over. It was hilarious and exhausting.
If you follow anything VoxDay says about the SSH, Lethn was pure textbook Gamma. He was a guy with delusions of grandeur who thought he knew more than he did and an inability to admit he's wrong.
