    You think putting him on display will warn other off?  I 
    guess it's a potentially worthwhile activity.  Who knows?

    Force feed him dissonance.

    He'll still post his stuff to ars, only now he'll have double
    propagation.

    he's already left orbit anyway.
    
    I just wanted everyone to stop and think about it.
