The very simplest and easiest way to deal with posters such as 'ABC' is to
simply ignore them.... let the thread die without even wasting the time on
replying.
I understand and share your enthusiasm about shutting off the communication
of those who try to do nothing but stir up emotions... but keep in mind one
simple thing:
It is one thing to look like an intellectually-challenged human being....
and it's another to open one's mouth and prove it. :)
This character thrives off of emotional reaction.... just don't give him the
benefit.... classic response that you could say (aloud if needed), but
without replying to the groupstudy:
"Ya, ....what-ever chief.... "
Next!
