I notice he has shown up here already. Most of us know who he is by seeing him spout his lunacy all over freethought and science/skeptical websites - and know of his harassment of prominent Atheists. Well, now he might be in some trouble:

Hopefully he finally gets put away for a bit.

Let's hope they manage to shut the little fuck up.

I think he needs some intense therapy and heavy medication. He's obviously crazier than a shithouse rat.

[Feck]

Oooh were there threats? where is he ? why didn't I get threatened ? does he post on FB ? or google + (sorry urge to troll is strong tonight )

[MattShizzle]

He's almost certainly banned from them. He showed up here already and every so often on TR (about the only place he isn't banned.) He shows up every so often on any atheist/skeptic board with a new ID. He even does that on TR because he's just so used to being quickly banned.

I'm listening to the latest Non-Prophets podcast right now and they're talking about this.

Dennis Makuze has been banned more times from AF.org than any member in history I think. We now have a system in place that bans him automatically. His posts are very disruptive and take a hell of a long time to load, even in mod CP. He seems to think he is entitled to the million dollar challenge from James Randi, but what for is still not clear to me.

[MattShizzle]

His idea is basically that in one of Nostradamus' quatrains the initials "DM" are mentioned. That's his real initials (Dennis Markuse) as well as his original screenname. A video by Depeche Mode was taken at the WTC so in his mind Nostradamus viariously through Depeche Mode predicted 9/11. So he claims he proved this and deserves the million dollars. Nobody else is convinced.

I listened to the Non-Prophets podcast today. They mentioned how that petition was set up to email the Montreal police every time somone commented. Well, turns out he spammed the shit out of the petition so he wound up sending dozens of emails to the cops the way he does to PZ Meyers, Dawkins, Randi et al.

He's shown up here a few times, but seems to have forgotten about us. He could be a real pain in the ass at the old RDF forum. He was the main reason post approval for newbies was put into place. IIRC, the worst he ever threatened me with was hellfire, but he's made death threats against others.

[MattShizzle]

He's tended to post the same pictures/links for over a year now - the 6 legged sheep, the vacuum cleaner, etc. He switches the words around some. My favorite was from earlier this year - "YOU MOFO'S KILLED MICKEY MOUSE!!!!" I'm pretty sure TR is about the only site he's NOT banned from. He still uses socks because he's so used to being banned everywhere. I only found out when this story broke he's been doing this sort of thing since 1993 - though he was somewhat more coherent then apparently.

Update:

Montreal police would not reveal the identity of the suspect, saying only that he would undergo a psychiatric evaluation shortly.

[MattShizzle]

Being charged with 2 counts of making death threats and has a bail hearing today.

Couldn't happen to a bigger slime ball. The "David Mabus" Story (from Jerry Coyne's blog).

[MattShizzle]

Now that he has this record, media attention, etc - hopefully if and when they let him out if he would try anything he wouldn't be allowed to enter the US.
