Just added two new entries to my DU "Auto-trash by Keyword" list... his first name, and his last name. If either appear in the subject line of a message (together or separately) then I'll never see the post.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=myaccount&sub=trash

That doesn't account for misspellings or posts where his name isn't included in the subject... so some things might get through, but I can just permanently hide those individually.

In my opinion, he's a disturbed and self-destructive young man. I believe he has untreated mental issues. All this is in addition to his legal and career problems. It's sad. I hope things work out for him and that he gets the help he needs. But other than that, I'm tired of hearing about it too.

TV news junkies upset about editorial policies don't even realize it is a shrinking pool of viewers in the first place.
