Usual asshat posting the usual talking points in the election interference thread in P&E. “Here’s a fox news video showing how peaceful the tourists were on Jan 6.” “Oh, Trumpie can’t get a fair trial in DC because it’s full of mean people who hate him.” I hope he at least gets a thread ban. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > I wish everyone had just ignored the dangling bait (me included) Ha! I win! I saw the bait and quoted the “This is a hijack but I deny it’s a hijack” intro when I flagged it. Sadly, I wasn’t the first to flag, but I know who did… But considering how much negative attention they’ve attracted from the mods since their return, I suspect it’ll go to a warning, although I doubt a thread ban. The only question is do they run and hide for a few months/years before returning, or go for the double down until they pull more attention and flame out. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > No open Trump supporters. He claims that he’s not. Well, by “open” I mean “obvious”. Someone can lie and claim otherwise, but you can make an admission through actions rather than words. He’s a clear Trump shill, as are a couple of others on the board. ---

And yet, if I tell people to just put him on ignore and let him scream into the void, _I’m_ the bad guy. As if someone like that wants to be persuaded by facts. He’d have to be arguing in good faith for that to be the case, and he (like every transphobe I’ve ever witnessed engaging in discourse on such human rights issues) clearly wasn’t. All people like that do is try to get a rise out of people for their own amusement. Really, they’re more like vampires than trolls. ---

What would you consider a poster that got 12 warnings and then disappeared for almost 4 years but came back and got modnoted, warned and many many flags in a few weeks? Not to mention the JAQ’ing behavior in PMs to the Mods that modded him. I know what I would call that. Give us a little time, I think this will be resolved shortly. ---
