Couldn’t cut it here and now lashing out in frustration? Don’t report his OP. Don’t ban him. Let him defend the one-line “Everyone’s stupid but me” implication of his OP. ETA: It appears he’s posting IP addresses. I retract the above. ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > Obvious troll is obvious. Yeah, this is a classic troll endgame: “I’m not getting the response I want from stirring the shit, so I’ll ratchet up the insults until they ban me!” Two pieces of advice for next time, **Vahid** : 1. Don’t go so over the top. Subtlety is your friend. 2. Don’t break character. Avoid humorous asides that suggest you’re not rock-solid in your position. ---
