A simple suggestion. Mr. James R. Barrett has posted clearly that he doesn't care about anybody but himself. I agree with you that the post of his which you cited was particularly obnoxious, but there are many of his I have found quite disgusting. I suggest that from now on all decent posters on this thread just ignore his postings. His satisfaction comes from stirring the pot up and offending as many people as he can. But there's no fun in that if nobody responds. I don't suggest censoring or criticizing him -- just the opposite. Let him have his say all he wants, but just don't respond. Nothing we can say will change his basic human tendencies. Posting back to him just encourages him. I know it's hard to ignore people like that. You want to try to teach them some manners, some decency. But I don't see that as being possible. So the best thing, IMO, is to deprive him of ANY satisfaction of ANY replies. Sensory deprivation. He will go away soon enough when he stops getting the satisfaction of stirring things up. It will take a thread. Please support this modest proposal. Thanks.
