Logic and Fallacy - and a day off
Retiredgeo,
While I thought for a while that you might be correct - I see clearly now that this is wrong:
If people stop responding to him he will die of boredom and go away!!!
He won't - it is not his style. If you look at his modus operandi, typically a post comes out...and he gleefully responds four or five times (more - if someone zapped him with that initial post, as he creates a smokescreen to distance himself from that post). Now, it used to be that we typically saw him five out of seven days a week...now it is six - sometimes seven. Having worked that kind of schedule personally for many years...ultimately something has to give.
Keep him working 24/7...don't give him a day off! It is a simple premise.
Most responders tend to chuck the grenade...and then put him on Ignore...so ultimately all of his "counters" go to waste...and he has to dream up yet another AKA just to stay in the game.
I say - keep it going! A post every day or so from the "responders" would be enough to insure.the necessity of his his continued attention...full knowing that those posters have likely already ignored him. Make him work for the "privilege" of posting (it is not a right!).
I personally find this quite amusing in a strange sort of way - and infinitely more likely than your "boredom" thesis.
Best,
el d

I agree with you eldreco. Hit him hard. No need of an essay. He won't read it anyway. Make it a stinger.

Whether he works for a shorter or himself he is an attention seeker. People who respond to him are feeding him and indirectly encouraging him to post more. Wajac has gone on ignore and you are not far behind. I've got better things to do than read all of this garbage!
