Is it, really? It seems to me that the Whedon issue is inextricably linked to the overall topic, due to being an example of said topic. There’s not really much to say other than “yes, that’s bad.” Or “no, that’s not bad” if you can’t compare it to other examples.
I’d rather those who have been mentioned here or have done similar be kicked out rather than hobbling the thread.
This is certainly not a generally liberal poster making a sarcastic remark. The history of this poster has a few foaming at the mouth sort of trolling posts.
For instance, one he was unofficially mod noted, but should have been warned:
So yeah, either a troll, or someone pretending to be a troll, makes no difference.
I don’t think Manwich is deliberately trolling. I think he’s just a snobbish, egocentric dick.
Our Roman friend is definitely a troll though. It’s possible that they hold the ridiculous positions they are posting here, but there purpose in posting is pissing people off so they’re a troll nevertheless.
My philosophy has always been that if it’s really, really hard to tell if a person is a troll or not… Does it matter? If you can’t tell the difference they are just as disruptive as a troll and need to be censured for the same reason.
Well, here’s one dumb motherfucker who’s overplayed their hand:
Gods, I do not want 4 more years of this crap, let’s hope the mods stamp down on it hard. Miller’s generally a laissez-faire kind of mod, but even he should realize this is just egregious.
