I appreciate that "Dark Oni" is deemed an annoying distraction by some. But much like those he is parodying I think if treated correctly he can act as a foil for more serious and constructive comment.
Anyway - Warthogs response is well written and the points well made.
And more importantly I have found a method of coercing pseudo "Post of the Month" nominations for myself by subtly nominating those replying to same posts as me.
