Every email list/schoolroom/workplace has at least one, inevitable, turd.
Why, there's probably one here on THIS list...

Subject: Juvenile Miscreants
Remember in Jr. High, there was that kid in the back of the classroom who
could make that fart noise by putting his hand under his armpit and making a
flapping gesture with his arm? And he'd make that noise all class until the
teacher put him out. But if the teacher didn't put him out, he'd just keep
on going, and the more you glared at him or called him a loser or misfit or
miscreant, the more he made the noise, because in some sick way, he was
actually doing it to solicit your disapproval. Indeed, because of his
esteem problems and messed-up wiring, Your disapproval was actually
perceived by him as something akin to approval.
So the bigger fuss you made about him, the more fart noise would ensue.
But once you ignored him, invariably the fart noise stopped. or else you
stopped noticing it, and either way, you won.
My advice in life-- whenever you hear that fart noise, just mutter "fart
noise"to yourself, and let is pass. This is always the best course.
All this may or may not have any relevance to Audities.
