See, I told you he would be back. Same thing, different day.

Please stand by??? Oh, but that is too damned funny! Careful, you just may ruin your staunchy "zot em', and let God sort them out" reputation.

"I have decided to hijack this thread and use it to get opinions. What do you all think? Should this troll be nuked each time he shows up, or should we let him post?

This won't be a vote per se. Only one vote counts- Jim's. However, here is your chance to argue one way or the other. If you are persuasive, maybe you will get your way.

Thanks, AM"



" I "vote" to let him stay for a little while. At least he'll be controlled on one thread if he wants to stay and attempt to defend himself.

His antics don't seem to be that of a nuanced or clever person, so I suspect it will be relatively easy to rip him a new one, so to speak, or else he'll quickly resort to personal attacks. So, it would be good practice for those new to the board, and a fun distraction for those who don't want to have to think too hard.

I think the possibilities of fun outweigh the damage he could do. Anyone reading his drivel is bound to read the comments too.

Just my 2 cents...

Personally, I enjoy watching the "BOT GOT ZOT" when these dipwads post.

Freepers can be so creative when it comes to nuking a RAT..it's like Saturday Night Live, every day.

[demosthenes the elder]

my only real question is: Does the idiot read the responses, or does he just drop a log on the carpet and scurry back into the shadows?
if he stays and reads, let him remain active - since we might be able to bait him into revealing more of his soul (for our further education as to our enemies and our benefit). if he does not stay, I would say ban him in the notorious and entertaining manner for which you are justly renowned.

I think that if they're even mildly amusing, you should let us have some fun with them (especially on Friday...;O)).

But this is just bull and meanspirited bull at that.

You did the right thing by giving him the ol' zot 'n' roll.

[ErnBatavia]

I'd say let them do their thing; they must be amazed at how quickly they get busted...and bettered! Then they can slink back to Headquarters and report another failure.

Thanks for pinging me. Yep, the li'l critter does seem to be persistent.

I stand by my comment about the equivalent to the London squires and ladies who would go out to Bedlam to watch the antics of the inmates -- these posts do have amusement value, in a twisted sort of way. And they obviously generate interest.

In that, it is sad that a thread about frivolous/psychotic stuff will generate 100+ responses, but often serious discussion threads (mine or other people's) will generate a third of that. Reminds me of the way folks will slow down and rubberneck on the expressway after a crash has occurred.

But if the FreeRepublic decision is to ban this poster, do you have a way to track back on the Internet and ban him/her/it from the source? Otherwise, as you note, the new filings will be chronic.

Cheers, (and thank you for your demanding work)
