Personally, I think jlallen is getting to the point where he should, simply, be ostracized. A multitude of viewpoints is constructive and welcome. Even if some are occasionally irritating, so long as they are, at least from time to time, thought provoking or constructive.
After waiting some while I have yet to read anything interesting, worthwhile or thought provoking by him. Or seen him gather useful and on point press or other information. On investment point, that is.
I'm sure many of us occasionally irritate others on this thread. Which is all in a days cyber exploration. But jlallen not only seems to regularly and perhaps exclusively devote himself to political and personal attack; he also offers nothing useful or intelligent as even an occasional byproduct. That I've noticed, at any rate.
Reading though random numbers of his posts on various forums (found by clicking on his name on the "From" line, for newbies) is quite instructive. His obnoxiousnes seems quite consistently, universally and liberally applied. Quite an individual!
Accordingly, I suggest we all just turn our backs. Ignore him. Fail to respond to him. Ostracize.
Or at any event, those that wish to argue with him (for some reason that escapes me), might repair to the Loral politics forum. Regardless that he persistently tries to bring that full bore to here.
