So after one thread for free, they're fair game to be Olined on the
second attempt?

On that basis, the poster who started this latest round can have Olin
unleashed on him given at least 3 threads I've seen (ignorance of how
to use mailing lists is no excuse for Olin avoidance).

FWIW (exactly what you paid for it) I don't actually see anything at
all wrong with what Olin wrote on that thread. Most if not all of the
aggression is generated by other people reacting to it in defence of
the poor innocent who probably doesn't actually need protecting. I
mean how exactly can we help anybody if they don't answer the sort of
basic questions he asked?
