Stevertigo, I don't think you understand what's going on here.
Well, that's why I asked. :-)
I tried. I let him come back as EofT for as long as we could take it.
I see. I was under the impression that EofT was a 'covert re-assimilation' and that he was doing fine for a while-- until his meds ran out.
Part of the problem is that he will not email me, he will not join the mailing list, he will not take
part in dialog. He calls people racists and control freaks. He postures about being interested in policy, but then he always makes it >perfectly clear that he intends to ignore any policy that he >doesn't agree with.
This is quite a contradiction-- Im getting the picture.
More than once, he has frightened people, including me, by making remarks implying a personal level of intimidation...
More than once, he has been accused of writing
things that were tantamount to death threats.
Ok-- Now I remember (just glimpses though) An appropriate response would no doubt call for more direct measures. But these have no doubt been tried.
But this guy, well, he's in a category all his own, I'm sorry to conclude, and I think there is very
little chance of him learning how
to behave in a civilized fashion.
Thats a shame. Because when he was (for lack of a better word) "well," he seemed both intelligent and (somewhat) amicable, if not exactly constructive.
Thanks, ~S~
