You can begin to relieve yourself of burden by strongly suggesting to <redacted> that he maintain civility in his posts under the auspices of the rules proscribing over-generalization and exaggeration. Other people have suggested additional proscriptions that are being violated by <redacted>. If the posting behaviors you enumerate are not modified by him, then you proceed to block him from posting. The same protocol should be used to moderate my posting and those of everyone else.

> Think of it as a dialectic. Lou has taken the role of Rock. Some posters have taken the role of Hard Place. Do you ever find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place?Not here. I have no one else to answer to. However, I find myself being frustrated, disappointed, and sad at times. These things are dissipating, though, as my interest in participating on Psycho-Babble wanes.
