Along the lines of the best way to eradicate flames being to
ignore the flamemongers:

Use rn, or some other newsreader with a KILL file feature.  When a user
comes to your attention as being an incurable flamemonger, add him to
your KILL file, as follows:

/user@site/a:j

(This is for rn, other newsreaders may differ.)  It's best if you can
add it only to the groups which the flamemonger infests, but you can
put it in the global KILL file if necessary.  This will search the full
text of all messages for user@site, thus killing all the flamebouant
replies entered by those who don't follow the sound advice to ignore
the twit.
