Jim, I have been watching this and the usual suspects have been ganging up, like a big pack of rats, on the kid, trying real hard to get him zotted. I think that’s wrong and I ask you to reconsider. He’s young but he holds his opinions well and, in general, gave answers based on reason and logic, not emotion, unlike the pack that ganged up on him.
Jim, I fully support your decision to zot the troll. The n00b was trolling threads, injecting his views that run contrary to your stated views. Countless FReepers tried to reason with him, to no avail. He deliberately provoked FReepers who are here to uphold the same values you prize. He wasn’t willing to learn. He wasn’t willing to stop proselytizing his views that run contrary to this site’s. He wasn’t willing to spend any time promoting any views that are in line with yours. He was here to disrupt and proselytize for the left.
I don’t know what his relationship is to one of the moderators. Possibly none at all. But he tainted the reputation of the moderators with his claim to be personally acquainted with them and under their protection. If he’s allowed to return a second time, after making such a claim, that would further damage the trust.
I first ran into him on an Amy Winehouse thread. I left the thread because dcwusmc came on the thread and called me a hyena. Even when I left they made several posts to me which I ignored.
I went to a Sarah Palin thread where 10thAmendmentGuy showed up and posted to me. I warned him NOT to follow me around. He then requested to be added to To Sarah's list saying he "loved her".
I have checked his posting history and saw that he only posted about Palin one other time and the posts were actually about Bachmann.
This young man is dishonest. But the bottom line is that FR is pro-life and 10thAmendmentGuy supports abortion in certain cases.
