There are those who find the forums too "hostile" and those who thinks we should keep troll as chew toys. We can only have so many chew toys at one time or shit hits the fan. Even our "regular" interactions chase off regulars. *Hasn't seen Sae in a while.*
That terd flat out said he doesn't give a shit if I warn him, so what's the point of keeping him around? It's like going into a bar, pissing in the corner and ignoring the bouncers. One of them is likely to just toss you the fuck out.
I'm not knocking you at all for banning him. He was breaking rules and just being level 5 jerk smothered in jerksauce.
You and the other mods do a fine job of keeping people like him out of here. My "oh darn, my favorite chewtoy is gone" was meant more as sarcasm as anything.
Having someone around who wants a legitimate discussion instead of what JoopWoop was doing is far better a poster than him and I'm glad he's gone.
So keep up the good work. It's appreciated.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
