If everyone puts him (and anyone who quotes him) on ignore, it’s _almost_ the same as him not being a member. Granted, the forum looks dumber to anyone looking in from the outside, but it’s almost as good. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > This is what happens when sniveling fascists like you burn all the books. You loose the ability to read and understand simple instructions. i.e. FUCK OFF. I “loose” the ability to read? Which liberal college or university did you attend? You should surely ask for a refund. As for book burnings or bans and parading around like violent fascists, you might want to take a look at who currently leads in that area. Nobody else even comes close to liberals. ---

So let me get this straight: -Muslims are bad and should be banned from the U.S. -We (in our putrid bubble) say that’s just not right and it’s not fair to say that. -Common sense says muslims should be banned and the putrid bubble-ites say it’s a bad thing!

The cure for him is to stop responding, even if you don’t put him on _ignore_. I know it’s hard to resist, but if he got NO replies EVER to his posts, he would go away. ---

Confronting trollery is a waste of time. When has confrontation ever shut a troll up? They want confrontation. They want to be noticed. They want the fuss and bother.
