You've been around long enough to see the results when I actually engage the rhetoric. Furious anger, and eventually they quit, leaving the board a bit poorer each time. What does that get me? Really? This way they can let off their steam unopposed, no harm done, and as a bonus, old and valued posters start showing up again.

You're dealing with a shutdown, Jody. About a dozen basic memes distributed and repeated endlessly, and immune to any form of correction or alteration. There's really no point, is there?
