You shouldn't be. You've been given good advice, given the information that
you provided. You'll find that people tire quickly when you're quite vague
about what you wish to accomplish, or when you take too long in getting to
the true point. The best thing you should probably do is killfile the
person, and the replies to them, by using the scoring feature of your
newsreader, and let it go at that. There's no perfect solution to what you
want to accomplish, no matter what reader you choose to use. You're asking
too much, and seem to be too obsessed and bothered by the person you wish
to filter out. Filter the best you can, and grow some thicker skin, or
you'll never survive usenet.
