Hey folks, how about considering simply ignoring some silly and unreasonable posts? Remember Skinner's excellent research showing how much more effective extinction is versus punishment in discouraging behavior--or at least what is perceived as punishment--as sometimes it is actually a source of attention and so acts as a reinforcement. And, irregardless of the validity of expressed concerns, I'm a bit concerned about the repercussions on the poster who is being severely critiqued. Just a thought anyway.
