Pretty well everyone that I know of is aware of one very annoying "Researcher". He drops into threads, spouting something totally unrelated to the discussion at-hand. And if some-one points this out to him, he screams of being bullied, harassed, hated, etc. Or demands that everyone play by his rules.
The most sensible thing to do, as I see it, is to actively ignore any of his postings. Do NOT encourage him, in any way. Some people manage this for quite awhile, but then sooner or later, someone DOES reply to him. And everything becomes a mess again.
So I have a suggestion. Anyone who reads this, ... and if you too have found him to be a bother, ignore him. AND then create your own journal along these lines. So that all of your friends can see sense and wisdom. I imagine that in a very short time, hundreds of unrelated researchers will be having the same idea.
Perhaps, if he finds no one responding to his "ways", he just might go away. Because we all know that he will never change.

I know. So I'm maybe just spitting into the wind. But since I proposed the idea, I atleast ought to try it, eh?

As I said in a post way back when Sometimes you have to wade in like you wade in in RL to silence the Yob or the Pub Bore

I have visited his MSN groups and he has said:
'Sadly my posting on h2g2 has been restricted Which basically means I have been 'banned' but feel free to contact me via MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger'
This may explain his absence as it was posted yesterday.

While we tend not to discuss individual moderation decisions onsite, I have to clarify that Lord Wolfden has not been banned.
