I would submit that in the last several days, since we had that back and forth actually about him, this board has been pretty bad. He's intentionally relentless and poisonous, to try and prove some perverted, bad faith point. I'm not blaming anyone and I'll certainly accept responsibility for my own part but really, something should happen to make it better around here.
I humbly suggest that we try ignoring him again. That means not responding to his rage-bait and not referring to him in separate threads. If we ALL can do it, it just might work. Certainly we have nothing to lose. It can only get better.
BUT IT HAS TO BE EVERYONE. Can we do it? I will if you will.
