The issue with trolls is basically as entertaining as it can be to blab at them, they basically bring down the overall content quality of the site, while at the same time reinforcing our own holier-than-thou complex, which does exist, and is not good.
I'm going to be talking to darin in a few hours about EM related issues, so I'll bring this up and we'll try to formulate a coherent policy. Normally I would just close the thread and drop the ban hammer, but darin's always quicker to do that than me and actually replied to the guy, so I figure we'll have a chat first.
Besides, this is a topic based forum, run by darin and I with the help of our kind moderators. Our specific goal is ecomodding, and free speech isn't part of the package sometimes (ie, disruption is bad, and there's really no logical reason to allow it in this forum, so don't be surprised if we do just ban).
