I agree with Rob on the engagement part here; some people are out there just to parrot their point of view and won't respond to any evidence otherwise, either because "you're all wrong and I need to show you", or they're just trying to rile people up and get a response.
My response was to try the report function when he started "bleeding" those views into posts elsewhere in the forum that aren't for Politics several weeks ago. I wound up directly messaging Bob to do the report, as it seemed like either my browser config or something else was breaking the button somewhere.
I actually added Rajvik to my ignore list a few days before heading off to Mile Hi Con this past weekend; Between the bleeding and his most recent posts here, I pretty much came to Rob's conclusion earlier that he's going to pretty much reject everything presented that doesn't at the least imply the Democrats are more than slightly worse than Republicans and the media too biased to trust when they even slight slant in the other direction. I'd already decided he just wasn't worth trying to interact with, but the last few posts here, I also decided he doesn't have anything worth reading anywhere on this forum either. His name is the only one on that list, in all my time being here, so that says a lot.
Ultimately, though, it's up to Bob if he's stepped over a line; if it were me, seeing Rob pissed off enough to respond in anger? I can't say I've seen him post anything in anger before, so it's definitely a notable event. I'd be asking Rajvik to take a break from the subforum and/or find another place to talk politics.
And this has now become a pretty serious derail in general.
