Re: How does everyone feel about this?
These 'fish' are the people who give you a good winrate by making the mistakes that they do because they do not understand the game. Why would you want to stop them from doing that? How much do you win when people don't chase? This seems more like saying "I am a strong player, I deserve to win this pot. Respect my raises." And they don't and you can't do anything about that.
If you put him on the flush, don't pay him off because they will be giving your money away to the other good players at the table (and you are also making their -EV play a +EV play), and yes - punish them when you hit your boat or quads. You have to figure that someone on the flush draw is not going to fold when they hit no matter what the board looks like. If they are chasing a flush on a paired board, they don't care. Don't try to bluff a calling station.
I would suggest searching for some stuff in the stickies on how to play against calling stations. Just play your game and slow down when they catch their card.
