> [@Miller](#): > > Well, no single post of his violates any board rules, and none of the positions he’s taken are any more extreme than the positions taken by the current President of the United States. Which doesn’t mean that he’s not a troll, but if I’m going to have to defend my actions in the inevitable ATMB thread, I want a better hook to hang my hat on than, “He was mean to liberals in the Pit.” How about “he’s a fucking troll who in over 100 posts has not made a single post that actually qualifies as coherent or sensible.”? Okay, granted, you might have to ban **Clothahump** under those terms, but hey, no huge loss there. ---

I don’t know if he’s technically a troll, but it’d sure be nice if he had at least one post somewhere that didn’t essentially consist of “Puny liberals! Soon the [del]Dark[/del] Orange Lord will crush you all! Muahahahaha!”. ---

Heh, **Blinky** ’s not entirely stupid. I believe he’s come to realize that if all he ever does is troll people in the Pit, his stay is likely to be shortened considerably. Not surprisingly, he seems to be getting his ass handed to him in the GD thread, where he actually has to make and support an argument of some kind. ---

The moderators have failed and should be collectively flogging themselves right now. I really don’t have anything more productive to offer, because I’m not in a position to ban someone who is an obvious troll. Here’s a question. If I started a thread in ATMB saying “we should ban the obvious troll, and _everyone knows exactly who I’m talking about_”, could I get infracted for insulting another poster? If not, I’mma make that fucking thread. If so, _what the fuck are the moderators waiting for?!_ ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > Where did he get his warnings and goodbye? Can someone provide a link? Trolling is an instaban offense. That is, it doesn’t require prior warnings. Since **Blinkyandpinky’s** trolling was mostly in the Pit, it required some discussion in the mod loop.
