You couldn't find the original post because there is a *reason* why
Nick has been banned from bugzilla.kernel.org, and all of the
vger.kernel.org mailing lists.

The best thing to do is to just hit the 'D' key when Nick tries to
send you a patch personally, and don't reply.  It's not worth your
time.  Many people have tried educating him, and he's apparently
beyond education.

This includes something as simple as asking him to test his patches
before submitting it.
