110 posts out of a total of 1,068 isn’t “oddly obsessive” if she’s getting jumped on by five or six regulars every time she makes one. Especially since, if she _didn’t_ then those same posters who constantly (might we say, obsessively?) reply to her every post would have no compunction in accusing her of dodging debate, and would then use _that_ as reason to call her a troll.

She can’t win. If she responds she gets piled on. If she tries to fight through the pile-on then she’s “obsessive”. If she doesn’t, then she’s a troll who only posts to get reactions and ignores counterarguments. The game is rigged.

Besides, if **DemonTree** is “oddly obsessive” then so are many other regulars. **Babale** has 483 posts in the [Discussion of Israel/Palestine Conflict](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/discussion-for-the-israel-hamas-war-a-thread-in-the-pit/992653/2428) thread in the pit. **iiandyiiii** has 214. **Smapti** has 110 posts in the [Leopards Eating People’s Face’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/surprises-coming-for-voters-for-the-leopards-eating-faces-party/1010166/887) thread, and that’s only about 1,280 posts long. **Monty** has 163 posts in the [Trump Administration - The Clusterfuck Continues](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-the-clusterfuck-continues/1010068) thread. I could go on, but I worry you might think me “obsessive”.

I say all this, by the way, not to pick on **Babale** , or **Monty** , or anyone else. Just to point out that **DemonTree’s** behaviour isn’t “obsessive” by the standards of the board, and it’s weird to see it called out as such.

Personally, it’s clear to me that you’re fixing to ban her. If I was her I’d ask you to stop delaying the inevitable and just get it over with. I certainly wouldn’t stick around of my own accord.
