Re: How do you solve a problem like Maria, er, Simple
I'm not a huge fan of suspensions either. Simple is frustrating, scientifically ignorant, oblivious, and worst of all arrogant and belittling, but I don't think he/she has actually crossed the line into full-fledged troll - YET.
The one thing that really pisses me off are people who enjoy belittling others. Simple appears to gain much satisfaction from that activity... probably an attempt to mask his/her scientific ineptitude, but annoying nonetheless.
Basically, I feel discussing anything with simple is a complete waste of time and I don't think he/she has anything to offer or contribute to EvC. I just can't seem to help myself and that's why I've responded to simple once or twice.

Right now, simple is more troll than serious poster.

I think we should also seriously consider placing a limit on the number of *veterans* replying to newbie posts. Maybe the first 3 people to respond get to stick around. If a veteran decides to drop out, they could post that they are leaving and the next person can take their place.
It really gets to be a cluster-f*** when we have 10 veterans all hammering a newbie.
