I have stood up for **VC03** in the past, because I thought his eternal outrage was funny and he wasn’t actually trolling us, but I’m going to have to join the majority now and say yes, that is indeed what he seems to be doing. If you get banned soon, I’ll miss your entertaining outbursts. See you around, dude. ---

I just don’t get why you all responded to that thread. **VCO3** was over the top, don’t feed him. He needs to develop a more subtle, poetic–yet humorous troll to be truly effective. This was a very clumsy attempt. Give him time, he has possibilities. ---

[QUOTE=VCO3] Well, at least **SkipMagic** finally posted a response in that thread (as insulting as it is). Watching that thread locked and dropping down the page is like watching a bag of kittens tied with rocks and thrown into the Hudson River. [/QUOTE] No, it’s actually like watching the Nazis kill six million Jews. ---

[QUOTE=fisha] Give him time, he has possibilities. [/QUOTE] While I don’t have much else to say on this topic, I just have to question this. **Frank** just noted in this thread that he was suspended two years ago for much the same thing. Two years is quite a while in internet terms; I’d say he’s been given all the time anyone should need to turn their shit around. ---

From the Thread in question: > [@](#): > > Originally posted by Swampwolf > Getting this train off track is the only way to keep it from wrecking. _applauds_ VCO3 sets his threads in self destruct mode and ducks out when shit starts blowin’ up. This time, he got some sharpnel in his ass. I hope the door hits you on the way out. You will be missed like a hairy zit on my back. ---
