Mike,

Don't let the bastards get you down, and don't let them drive you away.  You are one of the few regular contributors left that add value to this site.

This is your forum, and anyone who comes here soley with the purpose of unleashing personal attacks upon you, and disrupting the forum is as unwelcome as a fart at a formal dinner.  Engaging with these louts is useless as it only magnifies the noise level they have created and advances their agenda of disrupting the forum.  Such people can only be dealt with in the manner civilization has developed for centuries.  They must be socially ostracized until such a time as they can demonstrate the ability to behave properly in polite company.

The real estate thread was saved from a complete collapse in signal to noise last year by going moderated and banning one (1!!) poster.  It is the only viable response to trolls.

If you don't want the administrative burden of managing a moderated thread, I would be happy to set one up for you and wield the ban-stick.
