If you use a halfway decent newsreader, it should have a killfile option
that filters newsgroups according to parameters you set. That way, you
never have to read an article from someone who contributes nothing to the
group. Check your newsreader's manual.

(For example, the abusive poster in question might respond to this article,
but I won't read it because he's trapped deep in my killfile.)

If everyone pays no attention to abusive posters, they go away. Always. If
you pay attention, even violently negative attention, they feel validated
and continue posting.
