I’m not sure everyone would agree that tomndebb’s posting behaviour is the best way to know the rules. For instance:

> [@I disagree \[about the moderation of this post in Elections\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-disagree-about-the-moderation-of-this-post-in-elections/770279/6):
>
> Should you believe someone is being disingenuous or arguing in bad faith you have several options. You may report their post and make the argument that they are arguing in bad faith or trolling for effect. You may also start a BBQ Pit thread about them and take them to task there with a politely worded post that points out you have done so.
> 
> You may even choose to ignore them as a waste of time and disengage from the thread.
