Michael Robinson is certainly a handful, among other things, but one thing
he is not, is a troll. The sooner you (and everyone) stop engaging him, the
sooner he will stop feeling the need to defend himself.

Keith, while a highly respected member of the PLUG community, is no more in
charge here than you or I. Anyway, this is irrelevant under the
circumstances: it was not Michael who took this thread off-topic, he merely
chose to respond to replies in the same forum which they were posted.
Considering that the replies he is responding to could be seen as a
challenge to his beliefs, it was necessary (from his perspective) to meet
that challenge in front of the same audience which they were presented.

As such, I suggest that it is all our collective responsibility to either
make these challenges via plug-talk, or keep them to ourselves. I realize I
have just violated my own suggested responsibility by posted this to the
main PLUG list.... well, nobody's perfect :)
