I'm pretty darned tired of it myself now. And unfortunately, unlike YOU, I can't ignore it because I have a responsibility to make sure everyone involved in this ridiculous little playground spat behaves the rules. But YOU, and everyone else (barring staff) CAN ignore the very thing you're so weary of. So.....why not? I know you're intelligent enough to understand that if he doesn't get any fuel for his fire, it'll die out on its own. So why do you guys keep throwing on the dry tinder?
There's a thread over on fauna right now the subject of which is BOI posts that go on for hundreds of posts. The OP thinks shorter would be better but the thing that has been repeated pointed out is that sometimes you learn really important things about people and how they really are once you get past the fluff and to the meat, generally many posts into a thread.

Take this one for example. Out the gate, it's not so bad. Down the line a bit, more motive comes to light, more facts come to light, more facts are evident that would not have been had this only been a few posts long.

Like you, others have responsibilities. It may be that most don't recognize the carrying out of these responsibilities but, unlike the OP here, not everyone wants everything they do known by everyone.

I know I make people think. What they think isn't as important as that they do. I'm lucky in that sometimes I can get people to think in unaccustomed ways. While that may seem exactly what I'm dogging Guppy Boy for, it's not and it's doubtful you'll hear of it from me again.

You asked. I answered. Generally I just let these questions go but you seem genuinely interested so you got a genuine answer.
