Is there a way to kill-filter both Dolan AND anyone who responds to
his trollery?

=x= I use Emacs with gnus, which gives me the full power of
Lisp for filtering. I killfile Dolan by his email address,
and use some cross-posting detection to ditch the threads.

=x= A more full-blown approach would be to keep track of
the "Message-ID" fields and killfile followups based on the
"References" and/or "In-Reply-To" fields. I did something
like that some years back, but decided that I needn't waste
all that overhead on some stupid trolls; so the above is
what I do these days.

Of course you could just go read a book.

Well, being the amazing individual I am, I can do both. And of course
there's the fact that by fiddling with writing filters I save time
downstream to spend on fiddling with my guitar, riding my bike, and
responding to low signal posts on Usenet.

Jimmy Page does that in Dazed & Confused.

Paganini guitar'd with his fiddle.

Does Seattle have a Bike To Work Week? I imagine so.
Same with Portland and S.F.
