You're a poor mind-reader, Mr. Holloway.  By all means, complain to Mr.
Slaton's service provider, write your Congressman, lobby for legislation,
but I personally have to draw the line at stooping to actions which are not
in the least bit better than Mr. Slaton's.
 
You seem to be proposing, and correct me if I'm wrong, that people should
flood Mr. Slaton's home and physical mail box with rubbish, and tie up his
phone with prank calls.  In many jurisdictions, I believe that such actions
might well constitute harassment.
 
What else do you have in mind?  Ringing his door bell and running away?
"TP'ing" his home?  Throwing a rock through his window?

Why not?

Frankly, I guess it is.

I assume that you're unwilling to act as a moderator for your list.  That
being the case, then aside from suggesting that you develop a more mature
attitude and cultivate equanimity, no, not really.
