It takes a village to have a village idiot, and he is our village idiot. Its a bitter-sweet coming together sort of thing. Its one of the ways, like it or not, to know that we are a community.

Seriously, I can't think of a single person who looks forward with (non derisive) pleasure to reading Grondines posts, who thinks he knows what he is talking about, or wants to interact with him. He stays because he stays, and nobody has managed to get him to buzz off or play nicely with others without frothing, or without doing the kind of painfull sillyness he is doing now. Groaning collectively at his posts is possibly one of the things that all Zoners can do together.

Ohwell. He plays enough by the rules to not get banned, and he can't be convinced to go away. Ignoring him doesn't work. So we might as well make use of him.
