If everyone had as much sense as you do, there would be no problem and
we wouldn't have to ban anyone.   This type of poster would shrivel up
and die because no one would take the bait.

But, it's not a very perfect world is it?  You have no idea the hurt

I wouldn't trade one of you,  for 100 of him.  I don't intend to lose
another member over this one.
