If you link to the post, then the poster knows you’ve done that. I’ve stupidly done that in the past and you end up getting the trolls over here trolling this thread. That could be @JohnT’s rationale. ---

Hey, fuckwit, I’m not interested in getting the other fuckwit here. ---

I don’t want to draw another fuckwit here either, so I’ll jut note that jtur88 is getting on my last nerve. He brings no value to this board except as an example of an ignorant fuckwit. ---

MrDibble, I do apologize for my words above, I thought, after 7 months, this new format’s strengths and weaknesses were apparent. I didn’t link to the post as I didn’t want the troll here. Nor did I tag him with an @. I also didn’t want to link to the OP saying ‘in post 243 of this thread, Manwich…’ as there’s no desire to make y’all constantly scroll. Ergo: Pictures ---

Aah, I get it. Didn’t think about that. But it does make it difficult to view these in context. I know the context of the IRA one (hence why I don’t think it’s trolling), but that other one, I have no idea (although I assume the Stupid Liberal idea thread?) ---

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. He is certainly earning his status as a troll. ---

**eenerms** is spouting all kinds of bullshit in the “Where draw the line? (on stigmatizing Trumpists)” thread and **needscoffee** had enough of it and almost drew a warning (probably should have drawn a warning, actually, but got two mod notes instead). It’s difficult to respond to posters like **eenerms** in GD or P&E. I don’t think they’re trolling, actually, just totally misinformed and living in some right-wing alternate news reality. ---

If they get to the point where they are too abrasive to even deal with in the pit, then just ignore them. Anyone who does it long enough deserves a separate thread. What we don’t want is them arguing and continuing to troll in this thread. ---

I really thought I was in the Pit or I wouldn’t have called him an ignoramus there. It was quite gracious of the mods to only give me a note. Funny thing is I actually had changed it from something more profane. ---
