I want to second Scott. I discovered some time ago not to even open posts by our friend, nor to open posts that are responses to posts by our friend This is why I appreciate Scott's efforts to reply and change the subject line to the original issue, so I know the post isn't a response to Lou. I don't understand why people frustrate themselves over this. It happens all over the web, like flies at a picnic. Just something you have to learn to live with and ignore.
> In the meantime, you might want to limit your interactions with certain people. I think some people are simply looking for the stimulation that comes from posting in a way that provokes reactions in others. To post your reactions to these provocations only serves to stimulate continued posting on the part of these people, and allows for a reset of the 3-post rule.

> It is difficult to not react immediately and emotionally to upsetting posts made by others. I still fall into this trap sometimes. However, your input is critical in many cases, and I would not want you to discontinue your efforts to improve Psycho-Babble, even should that involve posts similar to that you submitted here. I try to choose my battles, and try not to allow someone's thread to be hijacked by me or anyone else.
