With God'sChild I always felt like there was some warmth and humanity there even though his responses became pretty predictable and of little interest to anyone here. I don't think he was toxic at all.
Does anyone at all like the topics, discussion or presence of Drich? If not, how would we activate the nuclear option for the first time?
God'sChild was banned, but not THIS moron?! WTF?
To answer your question: No. I feel Drich's presence is absolutely toxic to this forum. I think he argues in a particular, round-about way on purpose to send threads spiraling for pages and pages. I can NEVER discern what his sincere feelings on a subject are (which again, it seems he's vague on purpose to keep people biting at him), and he insults people in incredibly hurtful ways because he knows it will derail the thread, giving him the opportunity to send us around and around for no good reason. He's practically admitted as much in this very thread, ffs! If this isn't the definition of trollish behavior worthy of a permaban, then I don't know what is.
I'd just like to see him gone to protect me against myself. I don't like the way I feel about the way I end up talking to him. I don't for a minute think he adds anything of value to these forums. But that's just my opinion and for the most part I do like that this forum space doesn't suppress speech.
God'sChild was never banned as far as I know. I just used him as an example of someone who got under people's skins but was still a human being at the end of the day. If Drich is a human being he hides it well. I can't think of any other theists on these forums who thinks well of Drich. He probably embarrasses them on top of disgusting them as much as he does us.
But it isn't a big deal and I think using the ignore function and some personal restraint (in the manner suggested by Shell) is probably a better solution than sullying our open/free reputation.
