Obviously it's commonly accepted that Spindrift has serious mental issues. But I was just wondering if anyone knew what they actually were? What has he been officially diagnosed with, if anything? Has he sought help voluntarily or been sectioned? Or has he somehow managed to slip through the net (in which case the system has failed him and all those who he comes into contact with)? Is there (prescribed) medication that he should be taking? Does he take it, and how often? Is it when he doesn't take it that he tends to post here?

Presumably his condition(s) relate to (among many other problems) a complete lack of empathy and guilt (e.g. knowingly, calculatingly and brazenly campaigning to kill road users without even a trace of shame or regret), psychopathy (e.g. starting vicious hate campaigns and making bomb threats against people who dare to disagree with him and/ or upset his sick campaigns), extreme delusion (e.g. making up stories about cycling in France, going out with "friends" that he hasn't actually got, etc, and attempting to persuade even himself that they really happened), and constant, compulsive lying (e.g. pretty much every word that he posts).

Is there anything that we can do to help him? Has anyone actually met him in real life...can they get him the help he needs? I'd imagine that if sighted he shouldn't be approached, but rather the police notified urgently of his whereabouts?

Thanks in advance for any information anyone can share. We owe it to ourselves to help the sick and, where necessary, seek protection from them.
