[on topic, sort of] Taking a hint from the Quakers....

..... I am now convinced along with others that the best, most effective
tactic shall be to shun he who will no longer be named nor addressed in any
of my posts regardless of however often he holds his self out to ridicule.

Sort of reminds me of Rumpole's "she who shall be obeyed!"

Good for you. Now, for everyone to come to this realization.

And create a new thread to inform us all of their decision?

Now now, Jim's not that bad. Oh wait. Perhaps you meant someone else
;-) Hard to tell, there's so many people open to ridicule around here
nowadays, myself included.

It's ironic that you guys constantly fill this group with proclamations
that you won't talk about Anthony any more. Life would be great if
you actually did that instead of announcing it to everyone.

Hmm. Perhaps y'all just need a new viewpoint. Technically speaking,
that is. What are you using to read all these posts? If you use
Google groups in outline mode, you can visually see all the dozens of
useless posts and skip over them.

Take another hint from the Quakers and shun all modern conveniences ...
like the internet.

USENET is a great place to practice your ability to convince when you
can't coerce, and there are probably a lot of hints you can take from
Quakers about how to do that effectively. I'm not sure what public
calls for shunning have to do with Quakers, though. Shunning works a
lot better against members of tightly-knit communities without a lot of
outsiders. Maybe you meant the Amish?

As far as I understand, the Quaker thing to do would be to call for
mutual respect. Try to understand where he's coming from, just what it
is that makes you object so strongly, and attempt to engage in a
friendly conversation about why its worthwhile to treat others with
respect, and what in his posts constitutes disrespect. Wouldn't hurt to
find something positive to say as well; there's /something/ to look up
to in everybody. Possibly by e-mail, if his works, so that he's more
likely to see your actual, positive goal rather than a vengeful attempt
at public humiliation.

Try it! Even if you don't get anywhere, an honest try at
understanding his viewpoint is likely to lower your blood pressure.

OK. Y'all are now oh-for-two.

This Quaker doesn't shun modern conveniences. I'm not unusual in this
regard. Perhaps you confuse Quakers with Amish?
