Is it the purpose of this and other NGs merely to act as a forum for the

The purpose of the three cross posted newsgroups are to act as a stage
for you to act out your victim drama.

So why are you enabling?

Frustration. You may have missed what rec.radio.amateur.antenna was
like before he arrived. There were a fair collection of very
knowledgeable experts present, that were able to answer most
questions. There were also very interesting discussions, on such
things as fractal antennas and modeling. I was involved with several
people reverse engineering an MFJ-1800 antenna. I won't claim to be
anywhere near as knowledgeable as these people. I read, I learned, I
tried to answer a few questions, and I made a fool of myself
displaying my ignorance in a few areas.

Today, these people are gone or hiding. Nothing of any technical
interest has appeared for many months. We are now blessed with
discussions of quantum physics, which have no relevance to antenna
design. We are deluged with stupid questions by Gareth which rapidly
morph into discussions about the details of Gareth's perceived
persecutions. I have yet to see any calculations or real antennas.

I just hate to see graffiti on a wall, garbage in the streets, and
Gareth in this newsgroup. Staying quiet hasn't worked, so I decided
it was worth one last try, which apparently has failed. Yes, I became
part of the problem, but I think it was worth the risk. Too bad it
didn't work.

I'm not sure what to next. I'll probably just resort to selectively
reading posts by those that I know are knowledgeable and have
something to offer. I also have a real live genuine antenna problem
that I can't solve. I'm not ready to post it yet, but soon.

What is the best way to handle this? Ignore him... no?

I don't know. Neither shoving a mirror in his face or ignoring him
seems to be working. My current solution is to simply add a filter to
Forte Agent newsreader, that reduces the number of acceptable cross
posted newsgroups from my current 3 to 1 for this group. Since Gareth
likes a large and unwilling audience for dramas, that should drop any
threads he originates.

No follow ups please. It's not worth the effort.
