Ah, the old killfile approach. It never works, as one can see here.
There is a common belief among the people who play at magick instead of work
at it that if you pretend something is so long enough, it actually becomes
so. While this works when what youre ignoring is merely a belief, an
artifact of your own mind, but it does not work when what you're ignoring is
real.
A killfile fails when it is used in an attempt to pretend that the person
you don't like doesn't exist. As much as he would like to believe it, Joe
is not going to be able to solve his problems by ignoring them.

This is another use of the killfile. Here Joe is using it as a form of
"armor" against responses to his posts. Since he knows from bitter
experience that he cannot obtain satisfaction by actually dealing with
either Erwin or me directly, he thinks that he's safe if he merely snipes at
us from some sort of cover. The problem with this is that he's the only one
who doesn't see the response. Thus, he still gets beaten at his game every
time but now he's the only one who doesn't realize it. Again, this fails
because pretending something real doesn't exist does not make it go away.

Your incompetence at intelligent dialogue is nobody's problem but your own.
