I'm not missing that point.  My point is, the sniping back is at least
half of the noise problem, and it's NOT solving anything.  Neither
"side" here is right.

Sure he's wrong.  That doesn't make you and Frank and crew right.

Bass is his own worse enemy.  His every reply, even with their
occaisional modicum of useful info, comes across as condescending,
partronizing tripe.  He's quite capable of turning off potential
customers on his own; if they're not smart enough to clue in on that,
then they deserve whatever befalls them.

He may be running over everyone, but you're coming in right behind and
stomping on the corpses.

> And I'll continue to be as much a disruption to this group as he is

Why?  To what purpose?  It's not going to affect Bass's behaviour,
except maybe to encourage it.  Your complaint is that he's a
disruption... your solution is to be as much if not more of a disruption?

That's just fucked.
