I sent out the minutes of a day long technical workshop a few days back.
I had ordered them by subject area and put the decisions and actions as bullets. I had to. It was a VERY productive day and with six pages of typed notes to distribute afterwards it needed to be condensed into a manageable form.
One manager (who stayed for half an hour then announced he was too senior for this) responded by email to me, all the attendees and to my line management saying I should rewrite the bullets as paragraphs and re-order it so it reads like a story. In the order in which things were said, rather than grouped logically. And I had only included decisions, not the debates leading to them so they were not valid minutes anyway.
It was emails like that which prompted God to invent the <DEL> key.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

He is spouting war and peace by email (not much peace though….)
Current coping mechanism is to ignore emails.
Getting to the point he is still refusing to talk to people and sending the same email message out several times.
Method 1:
Confront them & ask them what the hell is going on & why they think they can ignore you?
Method 2:

Dear Cretin,
Instead of firing out hundreds of pointless emails & then ignoring anyone who has taken the time to respond, how about you get off your fat arse & actually talk to the people face to face. It's nicer that way...
Good luck!Comment
