Even after a dozen individuals have pointed out to Greg that he acts like
an obnoxious child when he responds to suggestions that may help this
newsgroup (AND the PBM industry), he continues to use flawed logic while
defending his 'victim' status.

I started this thread with an attempt to bring more PBM related items to
this newsgroup. This was meant in the most positive manner, and not
intended to incite Greg or anyone else.

This newsgroup has great potential to bring new players to the industry
(and can do so if portrayed in a positive manner), but why would any newby
want to spend any time here with all the crap filling this newsgroup?

My suggestion to ask if there was interest in having a moderator for this
group was designed to eliminate the flame wars and focus on PBM. I still
think that a positive role model as moderator would do much this newsgroup.

After 100+ posts on this thread, Greg refuses to modify his behavior
regarding his posts. A moderated group would not stand for this crap.

Since bringing the problems to Greg's attention only escalates the problem,
how can we neutralize the negativity and move ahead? What do you do with
petulant child?
