Okay.

I care more how you might feel powerless to change how Lou Pilder behaves. He is quite clever, you know. You see, the real sense of powerlessness evolves as it is perceived that you actually empower Lou Pilder by not sanctioning him as you have done so to others in the past for the same behavior. If I were to say the things that he says, I can't imagine that you would allow me to continue posting here freely.
You say that Lou Pilder's behavior has changed as a result of your interactions with him. Perhaps I haven't noticed these changes in his most recent posts because I have largely ignored them, unless I become concerned that the disinformation he promulgates might be too persuasive if left unchallenged. I understand that it is not my job to challenge him. However, I sometimes feel that it is my duty to. After all, following his advice will lead to death.
I will try to be more observant of Lou Pilder's posts as they change over time as the result of your interactions with him on the board. It is true that I haven't seen benzene mentioned this past week. This is good because benzene is healthy for us. Compounds containing benzene rings keep our food safe to eat. Even aspirin is made using benzene. Our neurotransmitters contain benzene rings, as do several of the amino acids we must eat to stay alive. You see, we actually eat benzene. God gave us benzene so that we may remain alive outside of the Garden.
Please disregard the previous paragraph. I have decided not to endorse its contents, as its wording might be misinterpreted and lead to unhealthy beliefs. Do not ingest benzene. You may, of course, continue to consume the amino acids, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, so that you may remain alive, even though they contain benzene rings. In addition, you may continue to use your monoamine neurotransmitters to think about how silly this all is, despite the fact that benzene rings are integral to their chemical structure.
Do not consume benzene.
