Those who lurk can also use a killfile. Then those with more advanced newsreaders can just score the drsquare/Dr Scab and his other identities quite low, so that his articles are not killed but placed into a coma. For example with slrn he can be assigned a low enough score to have his posting appear at the bottom of the list of available messages and to be initialy marked as read. This means that if a reader does choose to read one of his abusive and disruptive trollings he has to take special measures to do so. > >>He has sought TeX/LaTeX assistance from comp.os.linux.advocacy because no >>one replies to his posting in comp.text.tex anymore. > > And I haven't received any. And that is another form of abuse by this troll. He will complain about a problem, be offered a solution and then in a short while claim that no such assistance was ever offered and he will abuse those who took the time and effort to provide him with the assistance. He has behaved that way in multiple newsgroups. -- I run Linux, no bloody RedHat, Debian, Slackware, or Corel, just Linux. May all that you wish upon me and mine be visited upon you ten fold.
