Not "respond in kind", that's for sure.
My own recommended list of actions, in order, approximately:
- Ignore. (This includes responding to the factual contact as factual
content and ignoring the emotional tone.)
- Call the poster on it. (Politely - this doesn't mean "retaliation".)
- Write to Jay.
- Mechanically ignore (killfile, procmail to /dev/null, etc).
The last is what I usually recommend, and it's what I've implemented in
this case.

And, both of you, I don't care who you are and
when you were working
with what; the kind of remarks you've been throwing at one another
are, in my opinion, way over the top.
When somebody comes here posting way over
the top crap, what are we
supposed to do?
