It seemed to me to be fairly harmless good fun (until the list
administrator unsportingly stopped it).  The postings didn't display
any of the unpleasantness which often seems to accompany those with
unusual views of the world.

It was certainly good humoured (I particularly enjoyed the "I contacted
a KDE person a few years ago, they in the end sent an email with
various k-shape letters").  The BBT font/Onlliinnee stuff might possibly
be an interesting psychology experiment rather than just fun/trolling,
to see whether people could be persuaded to take "spiritual" objection
to some random letter of the alphabet and adopt it as a pseudo-religion.

Possibly also interesting is that some on this list still appear to take
it seriously (although that may just be done to get past the
administrator).
