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.
