Have you tried ignoring him? I know he's probably the only one replying sometimes so it can be tempting to engage but since he isn't really replying to you, just getting his kicks in with insults, maybe ignoring him is easier? But I see how that's not really good enough because noobs are going to engage with him and get trolled by him which is bad for the site
It's definitely a good idea. I often do. There is also a side of me that feels protective over people who are new here and are put off by him so sometimes I want to get involved. I want stacker to invite new people in. And overall in Bitcoin culture, I don't find the toxic maxi vibe to helpful in onboarding. Bitcoin has a bad rap thanks in large part to this type of this behavior. He doesn't hurt my feelings in the slightest. I am way past that. It's like a bully in school. At some point I would want to get involved to stick up for someone who isn't finding their own voice. But I see that ignoring him is the best for the most part.

Yeah. I appreciate his work with the guides and helping people learn technical things. And I have learned many times over to 'kill my heroes'. Trust in myself. And there are some people that put him on a pedestal. I just want to be a positive force here and it's a tricky balance. 👀
