To flood the forum like a huge dump truck is clearly

I think he's gone totally nuts.
I call for '200 posts per month' limit. That should be easy
for any moderator to manage.
Nah, just boot him. Like you say it's obvious he's being malicious.
Most other group moderators would have booted him long ago. He has the
disposition of an ex-con. Maybe he is one.
By the way, Vaj's email is also bouncing. Is he dead as
well?
Or he changed providers.

FFL for a look today to me in email. I thought it was worth sharing
with the forum:
No wonder I never bother looking in. Tex is outta control! Or maybe
it’s just that there is no “there” there anymore. Tex’s eruptions are
just the death rattle of a dead site.

I think that "death rattle of a dead site" kinda nails it.
And IMO it's clearly Rick's fault. As many have pointed out, he
*could* do something to remove a person who has said outright that his
only reason for posting so much is to fuck with people he doesn't like
and ruin their site. But he doesn't. Clearly Rick doesn't read his own
forum enough to even CARE what Richard Williams has turned the
experience of reading it into.
If it were me, given his history and how he's resisted any attempts to
get him to lighten up for years now, I'd ban Richard for at least a
year. With two conditions. First, if he attempts to create other IDs
so he can post anyway, nuke each of the new IDs as they appear and
make the ban permanent for life. Second, offer anyone still around on
FFL after a year a vote to see if they want to allow him back. Post a
few links back to this recent period in which he's been making 500+
posts a month to help them decide how to vote.
No muss, no fuss, no maintenance, and maybe the forum would become a
pleasant place to have a discussion again. Maybe.
