Sirs,
I think it's safe to say that Ed will not, or cannot, engage in any intelligent or rational discourse with anyone here. In fact, his skills seem to be getting worse and worse and his posts more erratic and less focused. It's just plain annoying to talk to someone who doesn't listen.
He acts like a bully. Heck, maybe he is a bully? Anyone else get annoyed when you don't agree with him he takes cheapshots?
Well, in order to move on with normal postings here, I suggest we do the only thing people can do with a bully: ignore him.
This will take a concerted effort from all posters. Just don't respond, reply, or engage him. Of course we'lll still read his stuff out of morbid curiosity, but if we all stop responding--no matter how tempting it is because he will have said something so ridiculously wrong, eventually he'll get the picture.
Sub55, Mr. Van De Wille, dropped, et al, Mr. Arzouian has hijacked this forum, like he does all others. Let's get back to normal life before he was here. Is everyone game? Just don't respond at all--as if he is not even here. Let him talk to himself.
Good day Sirs, let me know if everyone is up to the challenge. Will be hard, because when he says something so wrong and ludicrous it is tough to ignore. Worst case scenario, we can do the Mr. Speaker approach and talk to each other about him without actually speaking with him.
Of course he will blast me now for this suggestion, but guess what? La La La, I can't hear him...
