It should have become abundantly clear that we do not deal well collectively with bad behaviour. People even leave or contemplate leaving the forum. So I have a suggestion.

Ignore the behaviour and do not, however tempting, however much it stings, do not reply to it.

The possible exception is a firm but polite "please stop doing that," though I am undecided about that.

Move on. Post other threads or rely to other posters in the thread where the behaviour is unwelcome, but avoid the temptation to be drawn into an unwinnable pissing contest.
