We have a party line on this?

I asked this man a number of questions which he completely
ignored, but he continues to ask us questions to which he
replies with quotes from (probably) the protestant bible
(catholic bibles, as you know, are different). I am NOT
enjoying his postings one bit, and see no reason not to say so
loud and clear. He clearly has no other interest than to
convert others to his viewpoint. I want him to go away, so I
ask him to. If you enjoy him, fine, but I see no unapproachable
dilemma, as you put it. I have, via my questions to him,
provided him with the opportunity to acquire considerable
information in which he clearly has no interest whatever.

Do carry on your enjoyment (you are writing to him for *fun*?)
but when I see his posts I just reach for the delete key.
