On top of all of the above, Spazzo also has a history of enlisting people to participate in the above rabble-rousing - there was one incident in particular where a couple of users were convinced to spam a private message ghost-written by Spazzo to some 20 different people. The scary thing about the guy was that if you didn't really, really understand the degree to which he couldn't be trusted, it was incredibly easy to be convinced to side with him or do some favor or to try to advocate which would lead to more people being convinced and then more and then more, and that's been a source of more grief than I'd care to get into.
Whenever he's active, we have to make the rounds to make sure that everyone knows not to respond to him if contacted privately, because he goes out of his way to find anyone who might lend an ear every time... and more than a few people who won't, just in case he can turn that around.
It's half the reason we actually go through the trouble of explaining the whole he who shall not be named deal every so often, because the alternative is quite literally to leave him ammunition.
