Nothing but that the person who likes them appears to be incapable of fulfilling the promise of the title of their OP and I'm in desperate need for advice with my ethical dilemma. Maybe you've forgotten it so I'll remind you,

"Dear Bob,
I have an ethical dilemma I hope you can help me with.

I'm in correspondence with someone who thinks they are being divinely influenced by God and think themselves the next John the Baptist but it's obvious that they are under Satan's influence and are really being set-up to be the Anti-Baptist. Should I try to help them see the error of their ways as their immortal soul is in danger or should I just leave them to get their just desserts?"

Why do you keep harping on hot fudge sundaes?

I prefer the Sahara because it reminds me of the late and great Nobel economist Milton Friedman who said, "If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."

Outstanding! I'll add acute avoidance to your other super-powers of selective reading and confirmation bias. I've put a report into the mods to have this thread locked as it's clear it doesn't do what it says on the tin.
