You keep saying let’s be honest. We are being honest. He really was banned for trolling. The code switching thread is a good example. If you look at the first post, maybe you can take it as not trolling, but in a subsequent post he admitted that he made up or exaggerated the entire conversation. Why? He was intentionally posting something that he exaggerated just to get a rise out of people, because he thought it was funny. Maybe you missed this: > [@"Ain't no female fix my man a plate. Mmmm, mmmmm..."](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/aint-no-female-fix-my-man-a-plate-mmmm-mmmmm/837629/15): > > Busted. I did stretch the truth. \ And this post was made solely for the purpose of getting a reaction. > [@I absolutely LOVE the stench of my own gas.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-absolutely-love-the-stench-of-my-own-gas/837555/1): > > Reeks like sweet garbage. I just ruined a woman’s lunch here in the office. Again, he posted these because he thought that trolling was funny. So I put it to you. Let’s be honest, do you not see those as trolling? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talking-about-code-switching-is-now-considered-trolling/837798)._
