There is no way to block his posts without making a fuss.

I took a look at the echange.  While his messages are a bit on
the rude side, I have some sympathy with his points.
(Walsh's Docbook book is very poor in the "how-to" department,
with little of no mention of available tools and also very
little tutorial information on how to write DocBook documents.
It is almost useless for the average person wanting to write
a document.)
