So then…did **Say Two** set the dope’s troll record for _somehow_ managing to cling on _this_ long without getting the banhammer (from quarantine, anyway)? Sure, he never made outright false statements, as a mod or two pointed out, but with all his sealioning and jerkery (ban-worthy, 'aight?), I’m absolutely dumbfounded as to how that toxic clown didn’t get vapourized, like, um, waaaaaaaaay fucking earlier than now. Truly mystifying. Oh well. Goof’s gone (well, from the forum that counts) - good. ---

I have a lot of sympathy for the mods. He was (well, is) slippery as fuck with the sealioning, it was very hard to pin down any one specific post that was over any line. It was just this relentless facade of reasonableness. ---

**Kearsen1** was way smarter and more reasonable than **TNC**. It’s not even close. Although, I guess you’re thinking footwear, in which case **K** may be doing this for performance art or something. ---

Not too long ago I did a deep dive on **Shodan’s** posting history (he has been pitted an obscene number of times) and wow, did that guy have a long leash. For _years._ ---

Would a troll banning pool be frowned upon? I’d imagine it would, but just wondering what others (+ mods) would think. ---
