Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

I’m scratching my head as well. @CarnalK was an argumentative bastard, but not about the kind of trite stuff that RealityCheck71 seemed to want to split hairs about.

On the other hand, he was banned out of nowhere (I didn’t see any warnings), so he was probably someone’s sock.

I kind of wish we had a Box, like the Giraffe Boards, where we sent banned posters. That way, they could make an appeal and possibly even rehabilitate. Anyone who wanted no part of them could simply ignore that forum.

Like a Star Chamber. :wink:

Well, a public one, anyway!

He literally was making the exact same arguments in the exact same threads as CarnalK.

Needlessly hostile Canadian CarnalK gets banned, and needlessly hostile Canadian RealityCheck71 picks up the baton and keeps on running. I reported it, but I can’t have been the only one.

This is the post I reported…

Condescendingly ‘explaining’ something that he was actually ignorant of and wrong about is a total CarnalK move.

Fair enough and it looks like you were right on.

Yeah, that was a really good catch. I can’t stand Carnal and had annoying conversations with RealityCheck, but I hadn’t put the two together.

That’s a good thing. I hope it becomes standard moderator practice to change a banned poster’s title to BANNED, so it’s obvious when they are. (As opposed to someone just on temporary suspension.)

We’re in the process of developing these protocols for Discourse now. I’ve proposed to make that standard.

Can you change title of really average posters to BLAND?

It would appear so.

Certainly laid that one right over the middle of plate.

Wait, there’s a way to change one’s title?

I believe it’s an administrator function. Mods can do it, but AFAIK posters can’t change their own titles.

So watch your step.:wink:

Can you change mine to “Do not question the hippo”?

No, I’ll only do insulting ones.

Never mind, nothing to see here…

Hah! Beat ya to it! And mine’s incoherent-ish to boot.

Is there a way to put a link here to a thread that doesn’t put a labeling link in the other thread?

duffer has an obviously trolling new thread over in MPSIMS titled:

Wisconsin mask mandate. I’m going to make it fun

@Duffer is not trolling.
@Duffer is that stupid.
@Duffer is discount Clothahump.
