An analogy:

Suppose there are a group of hams who regularly QSO on VHF or UHF FM.
Although they use different rigs, all have signals with "good audio" -
clean, crisp, clear, easy to listen to and understand.

Then a newcomer shows up, with a signal that has really poor audio.
Muffled, distorted, very unclear. Not weak, off-frequency or
over-deviating,
just not clear. Varies from 'requires a careful listen' to 'completely
impossible to understand'.

Fortunately it is discovered that the problem lies in the microphone
being used by the newcomer. It's the original that came with the rig,
which is no longer made. Nothing wrong with the rig itself, it's the
mike which is the problem.

Your analogy is broken, Jim.

The newcomers microphone is analogous to Marks computer keyboard, which
works just fine.

As you well know (unless you just fell off the turnip truck) the reason
for Marks difficult-(sometimes impossible)-to-read posts is a medical
condition. Give your newcomer a medical problem (speech impediment?) and
rewrite the story. Then we'll answer your question "How should the group
respond?"

We have exactly that case locally. And I've already described how the group
responds and how the individual deals with the problem. It's a two way
street. The individual is responsible for taking the steps necessary to
minimize the problem and the group accepts that.
