In fact, all of them had a very genial idea, am I right?

genial?

Never let an ESOL student use a spell checker or you will get really
silly output.

Actually, that might explain half of his posts.

Someone just started typing randomly and then ran it through the
spellchecker numerous times, randomly selecting words from the choices
lists presented when something ambiguous fails the spellcheck.

Have you used the assumption that English is not the poster's
first writing language? Genial is an obvious word to write
in this case.

So, one might think from context, might have been "general".

Nope. I considered that word and rejected based on the context. :-)
We must think differently.

I'm getting so ****ing fed up with people who judge the thinking
ability of other people just because they don't act and talk
like Hollywood superstars.

Try looking at some of "Fabrizio"'s other recent postings.

It is possible that the kid is a kook. The subject matter
interests me and I'm dealing with an aspect of it in another
newsgroup in trying to solve a problem we have.

Now, I accept that it certainly is possible that the OP is
unreasonable. Personal attacks are not my method of arguing.
Personal attacks were simply not allowed when we did our
arguing at work; it's a waste of time and does nothing towards
solving nor resolving the disagreement.

****ing on the use of a word and ignoring the issue isn't
production and can be viewed as intentionally counterproductive.
Now, I interpreted your post as an attempt to be intentionally
counterproductive. The probability of my interpretation being
wrong is 95%.

^NOT^

****. I keep dropping my nots. NOT wrong =95%.

Now, that's "genial" of you!

"Fabrizio" is having a lot of fun crossposting into a lot of places
where he is both annoying, and dominating local traffic in the newsgroup.

I have even sunk so low as to Meow him, but nobody else is helping and
he's decided to ignore it.

FWIW just because he's a kook doesn't mean he's unintelligent, or not
able to help you with your problem.
