**Etiquette question** :

Dear Miss Manners,

This probably isn’t the right place to ask this, but I’m going to do it anyway, because I’m a fool -  
Is it considered Troll-Feeding (or bad form, or something else unattractive) to keep posting in a thread such as this one, after the OP’s been banned? Just wondering, because I live in fear of committing some unforgivable faux pas…

Thanks!

I’m far from Miss Manners, but I believe the general position is that a previous poster in good standing should be left (generally) alone as they can’t defend themselves.  
A troll should be ignored.  
Continuing to post in troll threads gives the troll his ‘fix’.

Hey, c’mon.

This OP actually made me sort of snicker, in a non-sequitur kind of way. It just sounds funny.

“I am Jack’s Hamburglar!”. Say it a couple of times. It’s like there’s an organ in the body called a “hamburglar”. Plus the fact that it has an exclamation point.

Oh well, I guess you had to be there.

It might have been very mildy funny, if it weren’t for the fact that all of his other 14 posts were the exact same thing in other threads.

Eh. I liked the original Hamburglar, and thought he shouldn’t have been banned. Too bad after the banning he turned to the dark side and created Darth Sock Puppet. Oh Well.

Y’know, that was a waste of a perfectly good sip of chocolate milk. Use spoilers if you’re gonna be that funny, for Chrissakes. Now, where are those paper towels?

Is Jack’s Hamburglar what you get when McDonald’s refuses to renew his contract and he defects to Jack In The Box?

Or am I reading into things too much again?

Uh, guys?

What we have here is a recurring troll. Yes, he’s been banned again, but you are all still giving him what he wants.

That’s just going to encourage him to do it again, and waste more Administrator time and server capacity.

Please let this thread die.
