Why would ANYBODY want to conduct a "poll" about an individual poster to unmoderated Usenet
newsgroups ?
My personal opinion is that if ain't paved, keep your goddamn bicycles off of it.
And take your dumbass "poll" and shove it where the sun don't shine.

He's a certifiable lunatic. But he's funny and I like to bait him.
Unfortunately, some believe he's legit and actually give him respect and try to engage him in real
exchanges of information.....

All you're really doing is giving the guy a forum. Most of us have long since kill-filed him to keep
the useless noise level down.
If you reply to MV, chances are YOU get kill-filed as well so we don't have to read his nonsense
second hand.
It's your call of course - but it's like wrestling with a pig. You can't win, and the pig likes it.

Mike exemplifies the beauty of public newsgroups. Every writer has a forum; every reader a choice.
The alternative is unacceptable.

May I suggest the best way to deal with Mike is to ignore him?

Of 11 respondants, 1 seems to support Mike, and that respondant wasn't very clear.
Nobody thinks that Mike is a remotely reasonable and balanced advocate for the environment.

Good. Then there would be no one to refute me (not that you can even when you TRY!).
