If you notice LR doesnt span trough multiple threads, and his replies, incoherent they may be, only are directed at thise that bother with him. By giving LR attention, we are giving him a very undeserved legitimacy on this forum.
I'm sure I can find a legal and legitimate way to get them euthanised.

Sooo...your rules are such that your mods have to sit quietly and watch Rik basically ignore the rules about preaching and trolling so long as people are "engaging him," and then when people get sick of it and lash out in an attempt to drive him off (or have some fun at his expense in more or less the way he has fun at ours), those same mods are required to turn around and warn those members about insulting a toxic person who trolls constantly and hijacks threads. Do I have that about right?
And yes, he does post in multiple threads. He may mostly stick to one at a time, but once people start ignoring it he moves to a new one.
Besides, why does that even matter? People keep bringing up that "he only posts in one place" thing. Is there a loophole in the rules that allows trolls to troll as long as they stay in one thread? If so, why is it still there?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

As I said before. Why not put them on mental ignore? I mean, they're not as obnoxious as others. Just not very interesting.

Why do you get sick in the first place? It's not as if Rik was in any way convincing or engaging in what you call preaching? Rik's just Rik. He always posts the same stuff, pretty far removed from reality and pretty boring on the side.

Whatever discussion Staff may be engaged in, concerning this or any other matter, is carried out in private; so it's not at all appropriate for us to comment out here in open thread. Members are encouraged to make use of the report function should they consider the Rules to be in breach - just don't expect Staff decisions always to go the way you might want.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
