Well, we *could* inform him as to which behavior is inappropriate and
which is not, and ask him not to engage in the inappropriate behavior
and tell him that if he does, he will be removed. Has anyone
specifically informed him as to what the problems with the problem posts
are, and asked him not to do that again? He was very cordial when I
asked him off-list to refrain from excessively long posts such as the
ones of a few days ago, and we haven't seen any more long posts from
him. I'm just not capable of reasonably and politely requesting the
cessation of some of the other behavior right now, and if someone else
would reasonably and politely ask him to refrain, that might work.
