I so heartily second this. This morning, in my spam folder, was an email from this person, which referred to the "perceived insulting nature" of his posts.
AS IF the insult were a product of our "mis-perception" and not an accurate description of material vomited out in the most nasty, condescending and bigoted manner - all while hiding behind the guise of the cool, open-minded, hip and tolerant minority group member. As if bigots did not come in all stripes. It appears though that our pleas to have him removed, after years of this abuse and disrespect, continue to fall on deaf ears or blind eyes. I am attached to this community and have no intention of quitting - every well-behaved member who quits is mark on his victory ledger. But it is an ordeal, like being held hostage, in a sense, to a non-stop torrent of narcissistic, abusive crap.

So we're really dealing with some form of partial reinforcement and we all know the result of that vis a vis extinction. Listen, folks. In my particular universe, I am widely considered a loose canon who, according to one dean, "never had an unpublished thought." But this fellow is so far beyond even my exceedingly lax boundaries of good taste and propriety that I see no option other than expulsion.
