Why did you Re register? Your username @Thing_Fish still exists. You should report that to a moderator having two active usernames is prohibited. ---

Maybe this opinion is controversial, but I have yet to see a downside to finally banning this loser who intentionally “trolled right up to the limit of the rules many, many times, rarely violating them.” I’m not remotely as active on this board as some but even I have noticed several other users that operate in this exact same “I’m not breaking the rules so you can’t do anything” zone, without whom this board would be far better and more welcoming. No one would mourn their loss, except their sockpuppets of course, as demonstrated by GreysonCarlisle. ---

We don’t have a strong emphasis on getting the accounts merged. If not being done to be misleading and tied to the software change, generally it hasn’t been a big deal. **ECG** might have more information on this, I don’t. ---

> [@steronz](#): > > Righto! I mean, you’ve been **unfailingly polite** and he’s been **nothing** but **rude**. And, as someone else pointed, out, they aren’t actually being polite a lot of the time, and the contradiction is one more way in which they are intentionally trolling. ---

Perhaps, cross reference reddit, facebook, and twitter as well and look for similar names. Failing that parse a decade or two of posts and find an inconsistency. ---

What’s your problem? The troll was banned for lying about his background and using those lies in arguments. After he was banned, he went on another board and said, “Ha ha! I trolled you all for almost two decades!” Why are you defending him? ---

You’re right, of course. This thread is for talking _about_ trolls, not talking _to_ trolls. I won’t let it happen again. ---

Well, fuck, somebody got bored, decided they haven’t been getting enough attention lately, and came over to play again. Me? I’d start a new thread Pitting myself, if I ever got that desperate.
