Apparently you've never actually read one of his articles.

Given the aspect he presents on Usenet, why on earth would I want to
go to his web page?

Why should I want to "come up to speed" on him? I have him filtered,
have for a long time, and I can understand that it would be better if
everyone filtered or ignored him, but I don't see posted complaints
about him being any worse than your complaints about the complainers.
I have no idea why anyone would defend such inane, worthless,
obscenity-laced articles.
