Seeing as you use OE6, just add anyone you don't like to your blocked
senders list.
Menu | Message Block Sender...

And then don't post replies to any crappy messages.

Very funny guys, yes I know that, but is that not a bit manual?? What when
he changes his name? Not exactly thought out for long-term use eh !!!!

I have seen people talking about blocking all cross posted articles, how is
this done (different clients if so which ones ?), are there any news client
proxies available?

The best approach is starvation, the 'Phil the jerk' type idiot want (need)
people to reply, if you ignore their crap and just quietly kill file them
they will soon move to pastures new. Even if they have their ISP account
cancelled it's all to easy to obtain another, and there are plenty of ISP's
who don't care what their members (customers) post as long as the money
keeps coming in....

It's all to easy for idiots to be 'wanta-be-trolls' these days, and not very
good ones at that. :~(

He does keep changing his name. I've given up kill filing on name or
message title. I just group messages by sender and delete the b******s
mindless drivel in one fell swope. Very satisfying.
