Since Mr. Larrabee did respond to us as we asked I would like us to at 
least consider his response.

My position on this is that we should respond asking him to keep his posts 
to one a week or less, and omit any links to a page which offers things for 
sale and allow him to either accept or reject this.  If he accepts it 
explicitly then we'll see if he complies.  If he fails to respond, fails to 
respond directly (meaning, he responds with lots of flim-flam double-talk) 
or explicitly refuses then we should hide him in perpetuity.

My guess is that he won't comply, but I could be wrong.  I was surprised 
that he responded at all, though his response does seem to indicate his 
failure to really understand what's going on.  Nonetheless, we owe it to 
ourselves to take this dialogue to its logical end, before deciding to hide 
all his posts.
