On the broader topic, I don't know what you can do here. The guy has a 15+ year history of abusive posts, followed by suspensions, followed by outright bans, followed by new monikers and so on. Lather, rinse, repeat.

But if you think that a 30-day suspension is going to improve his behavior, then I'm reminded of the definition of insanity that is so often attributed to Einstein.

Happy listening,

Jim

  Regarding your other point, yes, it is getting to the point of insanity. Beyond an outright ban, what would you suggest?

    As I said, "I don't know what you can do here." I'm very sympathetic to your plight. You can ban him every time he comes back, but history shows he'll just make up a new moniker, get a new ISP and return.
    
    One thing I suppose we can all do is refuse to reply to his posts, i.e. don't feed the trolls. Easier said than done.
    
    Happy listening,

        A couple of folks ALWAYS seem to reply. It's as if they can't help themselves (like when I post about babe musicians, there are always at least a couple of offendees who never fail to reply!). ;-)

    If a threat of physical violence isn't enough for an outright ban,what is? Maybe require him to put up a photo of himself in a bathing suit?

    - That indeed is troubling and you make a good point - Chris from Lafayette 10:59:51 04/24/17 (0)
      Maybe time to have another "moderators' conference".
