Does it require a paid account?  I saw that you can register for an account without paying, but it doesn't let you see the articles - I'm not sure if you can see the chat without paying.  I know this might be an unpopular suggestion here, but I'd suggest that anybody who joins refrains from the insults and anger that are used on here - no reason to give him more "see how terrible the hate bloggers are to me!" ammo.  Questions/chats that put him in a defensive position are fine, but don't go crazy
