The slayer has a rambling reply to his removal in The Box in a secret place on the web. He thinks he is a hero. ---

But that’s it. Anyone who seeks to mislead otherwise you is nothing more than a Republican rascal trying to derail this movement. 😃 Anyhow, when I saw the post from Miller it made my year; I have to agree with others here, what took you guys so long? ---

I remembered it was a moderator whose name began with M. I mostly notice Miller as a poster. And as a poster, Miller is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life ---

I just want to be on record about how you guys need to be a bit quicker with that trigger finger next time. I mean, you gave that guy enough rope to hang himself 200 times over. Before his one month suspension last Spring, the poster in question was misguided, but at least mildly invested in ignorance fighting or perhaps agenda promoting. After the suspension, he became more of a line dancing sh%t stirrer. Not all that bothersome (because he didn’t cross the lines too much), but not much of a contributor either. He might have stuck around if he posted half as much. Generally speaking and separately, most trolls aren’t very talented line dancers. But for those who have a modicum of discipline, the administration errs on the side of permitting unpopular ideas, for the sake of our mission. Apologies for my specificity, but this touches upon ATMB policy.
