He's shouty, he's aggressive, but he doesn't seem that bad - I've had worse.
What does Sandeep think?

He was aggressive and after replying once (tried politely but...), I just walked away. No point in wasting time with such person.
Though I would agree he was not 'that bad'.

Absolutely - I do the same myself.
They won't learn if they won't listen, and all a response does is make them worse, particularly if you are calm and rational about it!
I just remember who they are, and don't bother with them again...

Yeah, got to maintain a black list!
BTW, posted a new tip couple of days back - link in my signature - have a look and share your feedback.

I closed the question because it was a repost, not to mention the attitude. I posted a comment to him explaining my actions.
I'm happy to let the community respond in future.

The following account is a troll and I know the person, in person. His account should should be ceased ASAP.

I'm not doubting you, but he has not, as far as I can see, violated any terms of use.

Don't delete his posts, just flag them as Abuse and reoprt it here. That way, others can read them and decide if he deserves an Abuse report on his membership.
If you just delete them, then no-one else can find them and make their own minds up, so his account lasts longer!

oops!
If I see such things in future I will do the same, can I undo those deletes??

Not as far as I know - but don't worry - most spammers don't stop at the one!

Not a new one, but this one[^] reads articles and even thanks[^] the authors.
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This one has a fetish for posting about DVD's.

What really bugs me is they don't even check their work. All their URLs are malformed.
Sheesh. When I was a lad spammers used to take pride...

That article falls outside of the scope of what we support on CodeProject.
Gone.

Thanks - but what concerned me was that he was writing an article (which wasn't approved) then quoting it as a press cutting, implying an endorsement by yourselves!

I didn't see his link to our site as an implicit endorsement - I saw it more as just a mention of an article on our site.
Regardless, that particular company's product has come up more and more and my patience has declined in turn.
