   You're probably assuming a normal, non-pathological case, since   
   you're obviously trying it with sensible rational suggestions.   
      
   If, for a moment, we'd presume - just as a working hypothesis - a   
   pathological case then all such tries and suggestions are likely   
   doomed to fail, and we need another way to handle that.   
      
   So let's presume another hypothesis; making no replies to his posts   
   results in no pathological floods of such posts. - I invite you all   
   to do that so that we can see what happens, whether the hypothesis   
   is correct or not. - If we're lucky, at some point there will be   
   quietness again on this topic.   
      
   And if he's still continuing just let a simple message-filter handle   
   that.
