I was always told by my mother to never wrestle with pigs; you just get
dirty and the pig likes it.

My 2 cents, my approach, for what it's worth:
I think that the best way to rid ourselves of an auditeer who we're
all finally just *tired of* is to completely ignore them. Don't take
their bait, don't even read their posts. By now, you should know what
to expect from them. They only need one "public" reply to keep them
going, that's what they feed on. Don't respond to angry, toxic posts
intended only to inflame. If you're just so angry that you *must*
respond, do it off-list.
There's so much that's good and of value about Audities, don't let
the bastards get you down. ;-)
Ignore them. I can't think of anything that would be more effective.
Any other ideas/approaches? I understand that some people enjoy the
battle of words and egos. Some folks find it entertaining. Some folks
like bullfighting. *wink*. Fair enough.
