Note to all who are disturbed by Mr Irvine's diatribe posts:
I don't recall any modeling-related posts from this individual at all and, from the reply posts I've read, this "gentleman" is annoying many with his relentless (and extremely tiring) political diatribes.
He's a bonified, certified, walkin', talkin' rectum, to be sure but you can't stop him from posting whatever he wants on an unmoderated NG. What you can do, however, if his BS really bothers you is o do what I did. Put him in your killfile. Now the only time I see something he posts is when someone cites his post with their reply.
He's a troll; an attention-starved, sad little man who thrives on the attention he gets by annoying others to the point where they respond to his drivel. This is what makes him feel important and, if you put him in your killfile as I did, you won't see his posts and won't be tempted to reply. When he loses the pleasure of eliciting irritated replies from others, he'll go away. Try it...........you'll have a much more pleasurable RMS experinece!
