I know you try to minimize Warnings, but I don’t think you should in this case. The guy was trolling by posting that in Elections. He’s not some idiot who doesn’t know how the forums work here. He just wanted to see how many people he could piss off.

To be honest, we kinda need a bit of a troll sweep around here. Sure, there are true Trump supporters like Starving Artist. But then there are many people who just post about Trump to piss others off.

Sure, in the Pit that’s apparently okay. But outside the Pit, it should be a reason to ban.

Hell, I’m not sure it’s not trolling in the Pit, since the only legitimate responses to this fuckery is stuff we can’t say.

Almost every post by this guy since the election as contained some version of the phrase “Let your butthurt flow”

I appreciate the consistency.

I love you too.

You do realize that all that cliche’ed sloganeering pretty much drains your posts of any meaning, right?

So, I’m seeing pictures of the attendance, comparison shots between Obama’s 2009 Inauguration and…the most recent. I’m always a bit suspicious when what I see matches so closely with what I expect and what I would prefer. But if they are genuine…oh, my. The hilarity has ensued.

I believe Sally Hemings was still a child when she and Jefferson started fooling around. Nothing proven of course, but the same could be said of Trump.

I hate to say this, because Trump and his supporters are deplorable. Jefferson, despite some obvious “flaws” was a great man. Trump, on the other hand, is all flaws.

So posting about Trump is trolling? Unless of course it’s one of a million duplicate bitching threads about Trump? C’mon BigT even you aren’t that duplicitous in your partisanship.

Trump, the least popular President in modern history… and this is during his “honeymoon” phase.

As a point of reference, Obamacare is more popular than he is.
