Probably every resident DB member got at first irritated by the repetitive posts of waxlips, and his digging out of many years old threads. Myself, I suspected a spammer or a troll at first too, but after a while, and after reading one of his posts I understood.
I posted this comment in another thread, but I doubt that many people saw it, so I repost it here - finally in this subforum people often discuss diverse forum policy violations. Although it is not the case at waxlips, I think it is the right place here.
My original post from the other thread:
Don't worry about waxlips. He is all right, and has no bad intentions. In one post he revealed about himself that he is an autist, and the behaviour 100% matches the definition, so I believe him. I suspected a troll, or a spammer at the beginning. But the autism explains the behaviour much better. Autism does not mean any retardation, or perversity. Neurons at autists simply work differently.
Autists are characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. So do not expect that waxlips will react on your questions. He will possibly go through the entire archive, tag and comment every single thread, and also create many new similar threads. He does not do it to annoy us. It is the way it works, and in some ways it can be also useful - for example he is doing perfect job for adding tags to all old threads. And if you read his posts carefully, there is some message and also some poetry hidden in it too, and I think it can enrich us if we stop being irritated by the repetitive posts.
You will understand better if you look at Wikipedia (or if you watch the movie Rainman)
