He last posted on Cannabis.com using that profile in January 2006. Neighbors in North Carolina and Colorado have said he lived without electricity and running water in recent years. It’s not known if he continued to post elsewhere, or did not continue to have a presence online.
Most of Dear’s posts on the message board were made in the Spirituality forum. He also posted requests for dates on the South Carolina forum.
His first post on the site was looking for a woman. On August 8, 2005, he posted a thread titles “sc women wanted,” and wrote in the body of the post, “tall aries male loves to party.” A few days later, Dear posted, “lets party, white male 44, aries.”
On September 8, 2005, he posted about Hurricane Katrina, writing, “well now they have ordered forced evacuations , an no pets allowed , i heard one guy say he wont leave unless they kill him , so what ever happened to freedom.”

On October 7, he wrote, “turn to Jesus or burn in hell. Wake up sinners u cant save yourself u will die an worms shall eat your flesh, now your soul is going somewhere.”
He also posted several times in the next few weeks different variations of “Every knee shall bow an tongue confess Jesus is lord in this world or the next.”
Dear wrote that “herb” was created by God, so man’s laws against the drug are against God. He also ranted against women, posting, “god made the woman out of the mans side sorry but womans lib cant change it.”
On December 5, 2005, he posted, “aids, hurricanes, we are in the end times. accept the LORD JESUS while you can.”
His last post was on January 8, 2006, when he wrote, “THE LORD GIVETH THE LORD TAKETH AWAY,” and “BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.”
