Aaron M.Scott, I think Bruce's posts are fun as well. The village idiot analogy is very appropriate as Bruce just sets himself up for mockery and I don't think he even gets that he's doing it. I guess the more mature reaction would be to refrain from laughing and try to help him communicate better, but you could also argue that he brings it on himself and is so disdainful of his fellow posters that it's OK to laugh and watch as he just keeps digging that hole deeper.
But the private e-mails are a much more serious matter. Maybe you should ask jay to privately forward Bruce's e-mail to you.
