Kendall, Joe Offer says, in his advice to us Newks, that the way to handle Flamers is to ignore them. Meaning, I would think, do nothing. I admit, I rise to the bait sometime. But query, is it really a good idea to "pester" these guys? I.e. pay attention to them?

The motive is not that hard to figure. On-line is anonymous. You don't have to answer for what you do. That's many people's idea of "freedom."
