Yeah, I know what you mean.  I don't especially enjoy abusing the 
mentally ill, but often he gives an appearance of not being so mentally 
ill and I respond.  I guess I should just resist and ignore him as I 
encourage others to do.  Easier to say than do, I guess...

There are times I regret his insanity.  I wouldn't mind discussing his 
Forth CPU ideas, but likely they are a bit grandiose for efficient 
implementation.  He thinks in software terms which often will result in 
poor hardware.  It can be hard to come up with an approach which works 
well for both hardware and software.
