What happened to the regulars?

The best way to deal with someone who bothers you on a message board is to ignore them....regardless of who it is. If you disagree with them, it's not necessary to tell them...or the whole world. It's totally permissible to just "not post". Didn't your mom ever teach you "if you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all."? There is some credence in that.
As far as trolls go, many times they are just trying to start controversy. If they do, they succeed. If they don't, they get frustrated and eventually go away. Ignore them and they eventually go away.
This goes for anyone on any message board...and is not directed to anyone in particular..either in this thread or anywhere on this board.
Your advice is all well and good but the issue is the way this particular poster goes about things. He comes off rude and ignorant to people. This goes far beyond his abilities with the English language. No one deserves to be belittled on a message board. I don't care how many add me threads or repeat questions there are. If it bothers him that much maybe he needs to take a step back from reading these boards? Perhaps it's his sense of humor and English being his second language but I can completely see people being offended by him.
I find it difficult to understand why so many defend him. Perhaps all his defenders should sit down and teach him how to properly express his humor or sarcasm.
