On 2/24, about four months before the big blowup, I replied to one of Grok's posts with such an analysis. And at the end of my post I plonked him, publicly. As you may also recall. And I never replied directly to any of his posts after that. Had everyone else emulated that behavior the results would have been different. Of course, avoiding seeing what he wrote remained impractical, as others continued to quote him at length, and I did post one additional message *about* Grok, on 4/10, in which I tried to paint him for what he was. This was partly in the hope that others would see him more clearly and stop trying to debate with him. Fat lot of good it did, eh? And of course, as you may also recall, I replied to *you* on 6/6, with another attempt at explaining why interacting with trolls in general, and Grok in particular, is not useful. Again, it didn't seem to make much impression. Please remember the past, it may help with avoiding the same mistakes in the future. Ca suffit, at least for me.
