The less said about the dearly departed the better IMHO. I got involved when it became clear that he was trolling Misheru and making insinuations about our son's performance of a classic musical number from Cats. So I donned my shining armor, called for my horse and sword and took to the chase...
He was creepy, and acted like he felt superior to everyone. In his mind, he was right, everyone else was wrong. He knew things, we didn't. Even when it was painfully obvious he didn't really know, he would say things subtly implying knowledge that he lacked. It seemed clear that whatever he wanted here (and I think he definitely had an agenda), it wasn't talking about dolliehs and sharing in our common interest.
My only goal was to frustrate him sufficiently to let him show his true colors. I learned years and years ago that the very best, and most fun (to me), way to deal with this kind of person is to take each pompous, superior post and take it apart, point by point, demolishing each point as you go. this kind of poster likes to tread the fine line between enough and too much, and you have to get them to step into the 'too much' area all on their very own. The idea is that when the offending poster reads the replies they get increasingly frustrated as they go and can't help but reply, where upon they either go further out on a limb - which you then chop off - or they try to avoid the issue utterly and jump off on some other tangent only to be met with the same level of response. Eventually they get frustrated enough that they can't contain it, and step over the line - banhammer.

I like my dolliehs a lot.
Actually, I like my dolliehs more than I like a lot of people I know in real life.
Is that bad? I think not!
