Which is kind of my point. Randy is never going to change, and we can't control that. So, we have to change what we can control, and that is how we react to him. I'm guessing Randy would completely forget our web address if we all just stopped replying to him. He's an antagonizer and getting his kicks out of our responses to him. If we refuse to feed the junkie, he'll get his drug elsewhere.
But I get it. Reading Randy's garbage makes you want to smack it down, and pointing just how bad his nonsense is makes us feel better ourselves. At some point, however, we have to take responsibility for perpetuating his stupidity. It's easy to tear him down, though, but personally, I feel that low-hanging fruit loses its taste after a while.
