Unless it's not deliberately invoking highly negative sentiments but instead providing some with belly laughs and others with raeges of teh intarnwebz, I admit to supporting leniency.Adding another 2 cents... I think cat was often misunderstood... claiming to be a christian, but not quite... and then people telling him what he believes, and then him telling them back that he doesn't believe those things...
That said, some members, such as the late catty, sometimes prefer to just piss people off in general. And all due respect to the moderators and administrators, I really, really think catty's ban was months overdue. He all but admitted in his signature he was a troll, and honestly, he never had anything of value to contribute to anything. His entire purpose here seemed to be exclusively for the sake of enraging others. Granted, he finally made it too blatantly obvious and got banned all the same, but still, his presence here was, I unabashedly state, ridiculously over-extended given his general attitude towards virtually everyone else in posts. Just my two cents.
and escalate ad nauseum.
He did troll a bit, yes... not being an apologist like Drich, he had to mock non-believers somehow...
