I fired this shot across JackLynch's bow:

Jack,

If you can make Tannin so angry that he swears at you, I can't think of anything but the probability that you are provoking him on purpose. Maybe to test the new Mediation/Arbitration system? If not, my apologies, but that's how it looks to me.

So, please try harder to be nice! :-)

Given the timing of his appearance, and the issues he focuses on, I think it's more likely he's a sock puppet than a newbie.

Advice?

I've had little direct contact with him, but this user seems hell bent on pushing the limits of everything (see his voting on VfD for the last few weeks, for instance). I consider him a troll and advise the simple expedient of ignoring him completely from here on in.
