I object to the "posse" approach of gang-ignoring a particular poster in this

And exactly what do you recommend ?

This group has formed an opinion that the behavior of M.S is
not acceptable. The group certainly took its' time about this and many
gave him the benefit of a doubt. According to Google Groups, M.S.
first posted to r.p.d. July 17th, '03. After 15 months, the group has
decided that starving the ego to stop the poor behavior by M.S. is
necessary. If that doesn't work then many of us (obviously not
including you) believe that he will simply be ignored until he leaves
to find a "greener pasture".

FYI, this is far from the first time this has been done and in
fact the rec.photo.moderated group was formed for just this reason.
Tolerance is for children who don't know any better and adults who
have the occasional "bad hair day". Not for the behavior that we've
seen here for far too long.

Also note that r.p.d. would certainly not be the first group
to ostracize him. He simply doesn't learn nor does he care. He has no
respect for anyone as he simply doesn't know the meaning of the word.
