If you review this individual's posts on this subject over the last few
days, a trend becomes obvious - his intent IS to upset and annoy. He
thrives on confrontation, and really gets going when he hits a nerve with
one of his readers. Not intellectual enough to make his point by rational
arguement, he resorts to name calling and other juvenile tactics to 'get his
way'. And he knows that the "nazi" thing works - so he keeps on with it -
it's his gig.

Convincing people like this to change is analogous to trying to teach a pig
to sing - no matter how hard you try, it ain't gonna happen - you'll only
annoy the pig....

Best tactic for handling this guy - Dee has it absolutely right, use the
killfile. If there's no audience, there'll be no idiot! Plonk 'im.

Leo,

I completely agree with your points. I just hate to "plonk" him. I did
that to Len for about a year and missed many laughs. But, at the end of the
day, it might have to be done.

Or you could try an excercise in "skin toughening", Arnie (don't take
it as an insult, I've done the same thing) It is an amazingly empowering
thing when you can read some of the merde posted by someone that thrives
on confrontation and provocation, knowing that they are failing to
achieve their goal with you. After the first few ignored posts, it's fun.
