The list I see as most connected for this is /dev/null. More power to you
if that's your route: alias Craig right off your mailer if that's what
trips your trigger. Make a new character device /dev/craig_is_a_loser
major 1 and minor 3 and pipe him to it. Have fun with it, so long as it
stays within your personal space.

Ignoring is one thing, I respect your right to do it, but calling for
public muzzling is out of line. He has as much right to be heard as
yourself, so I think it only fair that if he goes, so do you.
