Congratulations to DrDeth for being the first Democrat to ever make my ignore list! His achievements in the field of obnoxious stupidity should be an inspiration to…well, nobody hopefully.

Easy Phil has been banned, though I don’t see an announcement. Maybe he was a sock for some other asshole?

I don’t love to see him gone, but it’s hard to argue that he wasn’t knowingly trolling in at least some extent.

His join date was like 2001, so that was a long con if he was a sock. I’m not sorry to see him go, though.

People can go from sane to not, over time.

Come on. Any poster that is the least bit different is going to be banned? No wonder this board is getting pretty boring.

If their form of different is to troll, then the answer would seem to be (and should be) yes.

Absolute bullshit. The very recent intolerance by moderators of the prolific jerks here is a godsend. The boring aspect you complain about was due to the jerks’ presence these past many months (years?) running off interesting and intelligent posters.

Thanks to the staff here for addressing the problem, and for enduring the criticism for doing something following the criticism you were not doing something. 🙂

If you think that posters like Easy Phil are what make this place interesting, that’s just fucking stupid.

Because the “not” behavior gets them banned before they can learn to be sane?
