I have taken some time to think about Jailer's suggestions.

Excellent suggestions, but I would like to play the Devil's Advocate if I may.

1. I will read no thread that you start;

This is easy. My only reason for reading one of these threads would be to correct the accuracy of one of his statements. If we do not do this, FT could very well lose more of it's credibility.


2. I will read none of your postings, merely skipping them over;

This one is tough for two reasons. One is the same as the above answer. The other is his penchant for attacking ones who take a position he disagrees with. In the past week he has attacked cactuspete and wharvey. What would they think if nobody came to their defense. If we stand idly bye as Ozhole attacks other members, we are no better than he.

3. I will answer none of your email;

Very easy. Luckily, I am no longer on his Mass Spam e-mail list.


4. I will not attend any event that you sponsor, nor will I communicate with you should our paths meet;

Also very easy. This should be practiced at the DO. I will have no communication with him. Period. Hopefully others will do the same.

5. I will turn my back on you and shun you entirely. You are, to me, a non-person.

See answer to 4.

Jailer,

Ignoring a bully does not work. The only way to show a bully for the coward that they are is to stand up to them. We as a community need to stand up to this bully when necessary. If IT attacks another member, we need to stand up in their defense. Other wise, the ignore option is perfect.
