That's really hard to deal with. I see it on other lists too (dropped off sca-east some years back, so curious only in that look-at-the-messy-car-wreck sort of way about this). You can filter the problem poster, but that doesn't help with the replies to that person, which is where most of the traffic comes from. Occasionally it gets bad enough that a list owner is willing to burn the karma points by kicking someone off, but that's rare. So everyone gets to suffer, sigh, and wait for it to end. :-(
