I really appreciate when a mod drops a note in ATMB (even better when it’s mentioned in the offending thread).

In this case I can cheer a bit, not that a poster who brought us a lot of inadvertent amusement is gone, but that justice and consistency still exist somewhere. Maybe not in America, but in the Pit.

A troll playing the ‘I’m just asking questions’ gambit. I wonder whose sock it is?

In his defense, the thread did give me a modicum of pleasure.

Of course, the pleasure was of the type I get when watching a Jerry Lewis movie, where Jerry’s character is screwing up and causing a cascade of disasters…

The OP (but not any replies) is in Google cache. Name was Renz Medicinal, and is banned.

The name sounds like one of those spammer names.

Or a name that should be followed by “ointment.”

The mods were pretty thorough.

Google shows that poster participating in 4 different threads, but all his (?) posts appear to have been cornfielded. And the some of cached posts look mostly harmless, at a glance. (Amply made up for by the eye-popping trollishness of his main thread, but still…) I guess TPTB decided his whole involvement here was trollish or sockish and chose to kill it with fire.
