I commend Twinlead and SLS for the responses they've given re Lou's not seeming to be subject to the same civility rules as everyone else.
He does badger posters repeatedly, with disturbing warnings about dire consequences if they follow their prescribed treatment, and even after being politely asked to stop, he continues the harassment.
I think many here interact with him not because they're interested in what he says, but because they're trying to protect others here, and especially newcomers, who may be upset and possibly driven away by his unrealistic but frightening comments. I myself have done this, because it's not fair to those who are unaware of his actions and history.
Also to leave his voice unopposed seems wrong and disloyal to oneself and others who struggle with depression and go through difficult times, when what sometimes feel more like threats, than helpful warnings, may accord with someone's own thoughts or fears.
I would hope that you can reconsider your view of the civility of his actions here.
And I also hope that those who affirm this view will not be sanctioned as a result.
