I don't use a killfile, because I historically often need to review
messages quickly. I filter his posts into a special folder, and don't
routinely read them. But when the matter seems to require attention,
I may respond, and I have the whole history then.
Killfiles are useful for ordinary problems. This isn't ordinary.
Some of us think only of ourselves. Yes, we can protect ourselves
from begin trolled by using a killfile; however, that does not
protect newcomers to the list, who will read interchanges and think
it's typical of the list. These people may just go away.
Jojo Jaro has promised to go away numerous times. He doesn't. He also
has said that he only responds to outrageous comments from others,
but the history does not support that. If it does, contrary to my own
research, anyone is welcome to post evidence, either privately to me,
or, if they feel it's needed, to the list in an OT thread like this.
It's also true that there were inappropriate comments from others, on
occasion. But nobody else but Jojo is consistently trolling. He's
acknowledged it. He's "retaliating." Or he's "answering propaganda,"
often some simple comment reflecting a view he disagrees with. He's
very open about it, if one actually reads what he's posted.
If all he did was to disagree, this wouldn't be a problem. He doesn't
merely disagree, he trots out every claim he could make to offend
maximally, as to what he expects. He claims to expect me to try to
"go to my imam" and "ask for a fatwa" against him. I.e., ask for some
"religious ruling" that he should be killed.
He has a totally crazy image of me, of Muslims, and, for that matter,
of many of us, in various ways. And he repeats it, over and over,
even when there has been no new "excuse."
