Explaining the numjbers used to criticise certain posts to these NG.

It seems to me that the posts from The Greater Windbag and The Lesser
Windbag into this NG are motivated by infantile emotional states rather
than the
intellectual level that one might expect in an international discussion
group.
Insofar as the basis of their posts IS infantile, there appear to be a
limited
range of insults in their repertoires, and by categorising those insults,
we
would be in a position to assess each post of theirs by noting the
category
number, but without actually responding to the childish jibes and so
starve them
both of the attention that they so desperately crave?
