Yes, indeed--considering that I don't believe "Martin" has ever said anything worthwhile here below the line--au contraire, he has crudely antagonized virtually everybody, if not attacking them in the most hateful manner possible--it sounds like filtering him out for good is the best approach.

Somehow, I don't think we'll miss much. We can probably even learn to live without his idolization of the graven images, Martin and Gibson.

After all, as I pointed out in another thread, consider what Benjamin, --one of our many reasonable and personable posters who happen to be Jewish, but don't seek to use their Jewishness as a club to beat anybody over the head who doesn't agree with them--said to "Martin" recently:

"You do the two guitars that you hold in so much reverence no good advertisement, and you do our people no favors by your filthy and vicious tongue."

That says it all.
