However, what can you do about this?
If you put up a fight, accepting his style, the result is pretty obvious - he will win because he is way better in business of insulting people than you will ever be ( remember - he is a professional in this field and you are not).
What you can do is to ignore him (and deny him acknowledgement of his existence, something he is desperately seeking), and to go on with what you already do: patient education of people and popularisation of science, step by step, in your free time (because you are not professional in this field either).
Other alternative is a ban.
But legal interference into such things eventually leads to corruption (just remember extreme examples - Stalin and his mate, Lysenko (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko).. Or Hitler and Einstein, as the opposite example.
BTW, please note, my reference to soviet (and/or nazy) methods in dealing with things like this one is not coincidental.
And, people who are deceived by him are already lost, anyway... in many ways :-)
So, don't worry, be happy....
