All it would take to be rid of ed is for everyone, I mean everyone, to completely ignore him and stop posting replies to his far-fetched idiocy. Let his "all caps" post headings be born and die with a 0 out there in the reply column. Replying to him just causes a feeding frenzy wherein he continually fills the board with his repetitious rambling.
I will never again reply to one of his posts. It ain't easy letting him go on and on with that drivel, but I promise you, it'll be worth it.

I already did it and highly recommend the experience - it is like turning on the bathroom fan, if you know what I mean.
