> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I think he falls squarely in the definition of trolling. He is posting to get a reaction. In this case, we are feeding his fetishes. He is getting all kinds of lovely materials for his spank bank. He is being deceitful, since I very much doubt he’s actually gone off and gotten castrated in the time between when he started posting here and now. > > I was going to say he could stay with topic bans (sex, castration and violence to start), but since I don’t think he’s being truthful and this feels like a very odd sexual voyeurism, I’d rather he just left. > > I think overall we do try to be accepting. We could start a thread in ATMB to widen the discussion about where we draw the line as a community. Do we welcome posters whose main interest seems to be sexual fetishes, for example? For me, **FJ** crosses the line with deceit and with asking others to participate (modify these pictures, tell me how you respond to a rapist, etc). Twenty years ago most LGBT issues might be considered fetishy. He isnt abusive and he isnt hurting anyone. Enough of this lynch mob mentality, please. 🙂 ---

FJ comes across as something else entirely. Could be mental issues. Could be puerile attention whoring. Could be classic trolling. Could be all of the above. ---

> [@madsircool](#): > > We do allow endless repeat threads…how many dozen Trump threads are there? Again, he isnt hurting anyone and no one is forced to open them. This board needs more posters not fewer. The point is not solely the repetition. It’s the constantly baiting posters to describe our personal details part that is so gross. That’s why badgering posters for dick or tits posts is frowned on here. Not just because it’s monotonous. If you haven’t read his threads, then you’re misunderstanding what people are objecting to. As far as consistency - mods have previously asked certain posters to lay off a subject or limit them from starting X number of threads in a certain time period. It’s not often necessary, but it’s far from unprecedented. ---

This thread is hardly a lynch mob, btw. If I wanted to really rile up the mob, I’d start a Pit thread devoted to him. Since I think he’s a troll, I won’t feed him by doing so. ---

Since I think he’s a troll, I won’t feed him by doing so. Gee, I guess we could put the Scarlett T on just about anyone. If you knew many younguns, you would realize he isnt that strange. I live in West LA so that might taint my view. ---

> [@madsircool](#): > > Today we do. In the very near past we might have seen an openly gay poster much like we see FJ today. We assume he is trolling but we dont know. So why not live and let live? Trolling is the new ‘gay’? Look, I rarely if ever contribute to FJ’s threads. Lately, I just skip over them. But, like many here, I reserve the right to form and express an opinion about the puerile twerp. ---

It isn’t the sexual fetishes that a quick me so much as his obsession with death, terrorists, and spree killers. I honestly think we could see another mass-murderer in the making. ---

I honestly think we could see another mass-murderer in the making. Although I’ll try not to get quite insulted (which I’m really not to be honest), you have to consider how many thousands if not tens of thousands of people speak about similar topics as myself and the fringe minorities who go on to carry out terrorist or ‘retributional’ mass murder attacks. Can I ask what’s bothering you about the ‘violent’ threads? ---

I’ve been posting here since 2002, and there have been openly gay posters here all that time. None have been treated badly just because they are gay. One of the mods here is openly gay, and he’s been a mod for years. ---

I live in West LA so that might taint my view. 1. You hardly ever see the original meaning of taint anymore. 2. I agree that that this thread hits a little too hard. 3. “And Now for Something Completely Different” I would like to complement a couple of posters for their writing. **Emiliana** ; Several very funny posts but, the renaming of threads in the OP is a thing of beauty. **ioioio** for post #1484 in this thread. ---
