"I believe the phrase he used when you infected his forum was "vulgarian bully" "

That was 7 years ago, Bryan, nothing has changed and the infector has lodged himself on this msg board instead. Graham's full comments below:

Hi Folk

I read very few of his posts, but I observe that John Carlo has been a persistant source of unhappiness and distress on this board to quite a large number of people. He has driven away from this MB several good old friends who always used to post intelligently, stimulatingly and constructive here. And instead he has swamped the Board with his own generally meaningluss guff and Carloisms, salted with irrelevance and aggression, and only occasionally enlightened by something interesting or intelligent.

My vote is that Carlo (Mr and Mrs) can stay if they wish but must reduce their postings (as I have asked them to do before) since nobody else feels comfortable about talking when there is a loud-mouth show-off, vulgarian bully in the room. If they are not able to reduce their postings and moderate their responses to others very dramatically -- in fact to become completely different cyberpersons -- then what should we do?

(1) Do nothing -- i.e. leave things the way they are;
(2) Ban the Carlos from this MB, thus effectively introducing "censorship" again which I instinctively detest.
(3) Any other suggestions (polite and constructive please).

Best ...
