Are you saying that we should treat him as we would a loony on a bus?
Yes.

Once again, it is from your own keyboard that the abuse originates.


Ok, last question of mine was a philosophical one that didn't work, so I'll
try a new tack: How many people need to know the score, who do not already
know it, and who will be ariving here especially, avidly, waiting with bated
breath to learn the gory and sordid details?

It really IS time to let it rest. Given that all the people after a moderated
group are basically just people tired of this, wanting to go to another room
and quietly close the door, I don't blame them, and some alternative would be
a good thing. And it thei insist of keeping thsi noise out of that room, I
see no fault in that either.

Whenever I have got bitter about some kind of online dispute I just go
somewhere else, and do somethign else, especially when it's an obvious case
of flogging dead horses. Act unilaterally. It's the fastest way to learn who
isn't capable or willing to act.
