Forget it...he's a damned < B> FRAUD</B>and a twice (at least)banned one.

SO this guy basically pops up. Gets into peoples' good graces by saying he has a friend/brother/whatever in Iraq. Says he has a daughter with a slight fever and freaks out asking for prayers. My recollection from that thread is that people began to suspect something was amiss. Now, if her temp was 106 or so, then perhaps cause for concern, but 102 was nothing to panic over. Anyway, I did not see the thread about this new tragedy, or the loss of this grandma. He claims to be from Poland, but does he even know Polish? Did MatthewPaul converse with him at all?

Why get his kicks by toying with people's emotions? If this is the hoax it appears to be, I hope it doesn't do damage to legitimate prayer request threads. Was his user-ID hijacked? Anyway, a very bizarre thing. Sort of like Munchausen Syndrome, which occurs in the movie Sixth Sense (taken to the extreme in the movie, and also the plot of a fine book "The Body Farm" by Patricia Cornwell). My best bet is that it is an atheist from DU having his kicks. All in all, very pathetic.

Kay, thanks for the info. A pretty disgusting hoax :-(
