There are two mature ways to deal with people like this:
1. Go to the list server owner and ask for him to be removed.
2. Ignore him.
Now, if I could only follow my own advice..... I am trying.

The official term for a person on a list who does his/her best to sew
hate and discontent is "troll". (I know, some of you think I fit that
description.  A troll gets his kicks by stirring up anger and
watching everyone react. When things start to die down they do it again.
Many years of experience with trolls has shown that the best solution
is hit the delete key whenever you see mail from the troll. Better
still, create an autodelete rule in your mail program so you don't
see mail from them at all. This eliminates the desire to respond.
When the troll no longer gets any response to any posting, he moves
somewhere else were he can get a response to his harassment.
