Are you volunteering to dispose of the "package"?

More like location scouting for a finder's fee.

Take the head and mount it on a pike outside the castle walls as a warning to others.
The rest of the body dump in a culvert somewhere nearby, dressed only in a pink tutu.

Its a bit amazing and scary at the same time, how much traction a murderous idea is getting by people of profession which are generally known as introverts and socially awkward. Then again that might be the reason why.
I may just be scared because I'm the know-it-all in my team

Just stick the body in the cabinet with all the VB4, PSP3, VS Boston, adobe acrobat, foxpro, etc. discs.
No-one will happen across it even by accident, there.
The cupboard with all the old ps2 cables, memory sticks, floppy drives, etc. is riskier, because some people use old CD drives as bases, to lift their monitors a bit higher.

You should be free to state that "persistence of an opinion is not the same as knowledge or professionalism". However, the problem with these folks is that summary execution does not help, and they will keep talking even when the head is chronically severed from the body.
We call them "zweefteef" but I can't seem to find a suitable translation.

At the least, only verbally tell your friend. You don't want to be implicated with a paper trail. Also before telling them, check them for any recording devices. Maybe also do the meeting in the server room so the deafening noise masks anything you say.

Well - the way you describe the new team member - and the way you describe yourself - I'd either 'off the both of you' or put you both in the same cell.

Just playing devil's advocate here: is it possible he's right (just overly enthusiastic)?
In my example, I got to my current place where these HPCs are, "MVC is too hard", "Linq makes weird queries and is too hard", "ADO.NET is better than EF", etc, etc.
Then running around babbling about adding memory to SQL Server because their crappy sprocs return every record that qualifies for a search, rather than one page's worth of things.
Rewrote our main search into EF/linq, a little skip/take action later, our SQL memory problem disappeared.
I don't know if React is a good or bad thing. We need to keep moving forward, but in a sensible manner.
Maybe it should be added, but as a project unto itself? As opposed to, "I'm making this other change which doesn't require react, but while I'm up, I'll throw that in."

We use MVC, Linq and EF already. We aren't stick-in-the-muds but sometimes the latest shiny thing doesn't fit well with our other shiny things.
