A reluctance to take the controls

I'm referring to your reply to another poster, whose name I've forgotten.
Starts with a "T" I think. If I recall, their post came up in the context of
hangar doors? Or maybe it was just around the same time that thread was here.
I don't recall.

Oh, I remember. Something like tater shood.

He was a troll, too. He was not nearly as staying and persistant, and is long
gone. He seemed to think you could fly on a minimum wage job, as part of his
central argument. Shoot, you can't even live on a minimum wage job.

There is no way you could legitimately call the person posting as "Xmnushal8y"
a troll. If you'd look at any of the articles posted previously, that would
be apparent. She goes some time between posts occasionally, but isn't
anything like a troll.

OK, but I don't remember the name, without googling. It was her support of MX
that got me.

Frankly, we're actually relatively lucky. As disruptive as "Mxsmanic" has
been, he's really the only active troll around here these days.

If you call MX being here lucky, OK, but he is the most destructive I have seen
around here, ever, IMHO. His argumentative style, and hijacking of threads
reaches into every thread. I, for one, am sick of it, and of all of the people
responding to him as though he is just a lost soul, in need of support and
encouragement.

Dudley had it right, when he said he had not seen one play the group so
skillfully in a long time.

I have spent all of my energy that I want to on him, for a while. Somebody else
will need to take up the fight.

No fight is necessary; let him die from neglect. I nuked him and never see his
posts. I've also gone and added a few of his supporters to the blocked senders
list as well. I figure if they're that far off in their assessment of him,
their judgement is obviously suspect. Why would I want to read any of their
crap? I couldn't come up with a reason so WHOOSH.... away goes trouble down the
drain.

Numbnuts will hang around as long as people respond to him. I am fairly certain
that all but the most thickheaded have finally figured him out. It's just a
matter of time before he decides it's more rewarding to post to
soc.muslim.ideology in order to engage some of those warm folks for some of his
exchanges of ideas. I have no doubt they would react even more enthusiastically
than we have to his endearing style of interogation.

Just let him go. He isn't worth the heartburn. And start nuking the folks who
answer him as well. Don't rail against them... just make them disappear from
your computer.

Thanks for the reality check.

Done.
