he should buck up, take the barbs in stride (and silence) until people get tired of it. his continual counter-responding and testerone-laden chest beating of his dubious past just keeps the whole thing going on.
What keeps it going on is all the responses he gets, too. Every time the guy says a thing fifty posters jump all over him for "past transgressions," each one trying to outdo the previous one in wit and cleverness.
I see exactly what he's talking about. All he wants to do is contribute and be a part of our Community, so much so he's putting his heart on the line by asking people to just let it go. We have a choice between doing the gracious, and kind thing, or we can continue to look like playground bullies picking on the odd man out.
It all depends on how much class you want to show.
