Speaking as one who in the past has succumbed to the temptation of flaming
back atNilgesbut who now realizes that the best course of action is to
ignore him, let me emphasize what you already know: Attempting to engage Ed
in any sort of civil and rational discussion is futile.

A brief survey of his history (via Google  Groups) shows he's been
doing this for at least 20 years. No matter what the topic, after a
few days or less, someone will contradict him or catch him in a
mistake, and trigger  his trademark rambling stream of abuse mixed
with pretentious literary and philosphical posturing.

I don't think you're qualified to use the word "pretentious". During
that period, in the real world, I've published several articles and
one book, and assisted a Nobel winner. What bothers you is that you
don't understand the posts. You haven't read anything, you've been
nowhere, and for you, the Internet is a sort of revenge in which you
have a God-given right to make yourself appear the equal of people who
have ("on the Internet no one knows you're a dog"). Your game is
exposed whenever your half-literate rantings are interleaved with the
posts of someone who uses sources and can write a coherent if complex
sentence. It only makes it worse for you that your nemesis here became
a rather minor authority on programming, a sort of lower middle class
preserve and catch-all field. It means that I can walk and chew
Nicorette at the same time.

Suck it up.


Perhaps if we all totally ignore him, he will grow tired of hearing only the
echo of his own voice and leave this NG.

This will never happen: you need your Ten Minutes Hate for the same
reason the denizens of George Orwell's 1984 needed your Ten Minutes
Hate.

I am finishing the xmlParser and will post a notice when this is
available. I have lowered, but not eliminated my participation while
working on this and the rest of the software for the spinoza
programming language. I look forward to humiliating you when you
respond in the future.

Hey, it's worth a shot!

I'm afraid there is little hope of that. But he joins scourges like
the "MI5 Conspiracy" spammer in my killfile and I'll try to forget he
exists.

No, you won't. You're addicted to your hatred.

The interesting thing about people like the "MI-5 spammer" is that
their delusions of persecution may in many cases have a real basis,
given what I've seen in Amerikkka: the systematic persecution of
people who speak truth to power. Sure, they're nutbags. The question
is what drives people to this behavior?

I saw a man using library printers in Durham, NC, to complain to city
government about his property taxes being escorted out of the library,
which his taxes had built, by the police. I suggest that this
treatment can easily make someone into a spammer.
