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’d also add to BB’s comments the fact that a moderator accused wagglbebee of trolling 10thAmendmentGuy; which was later pulled.
