I'm not going to ask you to take this discussion somewhere else.  You're
free to do so, of course, but it doesn't matter to me whether you do or
not.

I'm only going to ask you not to take it here.

Yes, it is.  (I express no opinion on whether "hatred" is an accurate
description.)

No, not responding to it means that it's not socially acceptable
to post off-topic discussions in this newsgroup.

I don't believe Rick is a deliberate troll, but there are plenty
of them out there.  Which means that anyone who posts something
off-topic and sufficiently provocative can successfully cause you
to respond so you can refute whatever offensive thing they've said.
That's part of why this newsgroup's signal-to-noise ratio has been
so poor lately.  Sadly, trolling works.

I believe Rick posts under a valid e-mail address.  If you want
to discuss his beliefs *with him*, you're free to do so.  The rest
of us don't need to read about *your* opinions about *his* beliefs
any more than we need to read about his beliefs in the first place.

Why am I complaining to you and not to Rick?  Because I've tried and
failed to persuade Rick to change is behavior, as have many others,
so there's no further point in complaining to him.  You might still
be persuadable.
