Given how much he(and let's face it, we all know who is being discussed) likes to antagonize and minimize the feelings of anyone that shows the slightest bit of vulnerability due to past experience, spends dozens of pages arguing semantics only to try and backtrack later, courts controversy for the sake of courting controversy, and generally relishes in getting a reaction out of people, I'm confident he's just trolling at this point.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but how far do we let someone who is so clearly abusing this freedom to skirt the "no trolling" rule? How many egregiously stupid and nonsensical things does he have to say before it's decided that he's just doing it to piss people off?
I agree that he's doing it to piss people off. It's just, in his mind he is pissing us off on purpose as a way to "teach" us, or shock us into his way of thinking. He sees us as a hive mind, that needs help. He's admitted all of this at various times. It's Troll-like behavior for sure, but I believe he is sincerely invested in his actions and statements. If that's truly the case, then Tibs is right. Banning is not appropriate at this point. As much as it HURTS me to admit that.
