I suspect--without meaning to offend--that Hidari is young. Youth is not a sin, it is an affliction.
So I propose, let us not mock the afflicted... if there is anything worth discussing amidst his lines, let us discuss it as the civilized and dignified community that we are. If there is not, let us, as he proposes, ignore him altogether without giving in to any desire to mock him and further alienate him from those that might prove positive influence upon him.
I should note: I am not certain this particular thread is redeemable. Though there is something to be said about Hidari's suggestion, namely that people shouldn't post in a thread simply to start/continue/escalate a fight. Of course, in an ideal world, people would not start threads with such intentions either.

I think that I made a similar error of judgement some time ago and was, rightly, brought back to my senses in the nicest of ways. See this link for the thread:

Perhaps it is time for me to relinquish the Bilbothy and send it to Japan?
