Being an equal opportunity skeptic, I won't believe it until I hear it from morphyx himself. Until then I will just treat the rumour as an attempt of ad-hominem. That is, an argument based upon person rather than concept.
Though I clearly do not agree with morphyxes concepts, it will, if I can be pardoned a popular metaphore, be a cold day in hell before I resort to publicly discussing him and not his delusions.
Besides, I think giving too much attention to the personality and motivation of anyone, especially those who harbour less than rational ideas, only feeds their general delusion of grandeour and paranoia.
Reasonable arguments (even if somewhat mocking and on the bright side of humour) on the other hand, might just cause reflection, or at least instigate further discussion, rather than default turtling personal attacks more or less always lead to.
