@AP21, I don't mean to keep bringing you in here....you see that I've been going hard on this for about a month now...but everyday these dudes come up with the new ways to be assholes. Like you said, you don't come in here so it doesn't really affect you day to day. But it affects the regular users here.... your users, veterans and new folks, many of whom, because the traffic and post count is so high, may never even see the rules for posting, your warnings, or my admonitions.
Bro, there is only one solution. None of this is going to stop until someone - me - stops it, or at least is given real power to try like hell to control it.
