Do I need to remind you that the only church that this person said he ever was part of was the RCC, and probably doesn't even understand the true meaning of "sola Scriptura".

He may not have grasped the finer points of the philosophy, but he sure lived it. That is the point. His authority was Scripture. It certainly was not the Catholic Church he was listening to now. Nope. He was listening to what the "Holy Spirit" tells him when he reads Scripture. Testing every idea against God's Perfect Word. And discovering two gods.

I don't think his problems can be laid at the feet of sola Scriptura. If your church failed him a proper understanding (as it appears), then maybe you should question you own church's failings.

My Church certainly failed to teach him. I don't doub that. When he rejected the authority of the Catholic Church and decided that all he needed was Scripture (and the "Holy Spirit") is when he went off the track. Thank you for pointing this out.

He may not have grasped the finer points of the philosophy, but he sure lived it. That is the point. His authority was Scripture.

This is not true. He is an anarchist, who seemingly hates all authority (RC and Protestant). You've seen his posts and know that. This is not sola Scriptura, because Scripture does not teach this, quite the contrary. Once again, you still attack it based on your misperceptions.
