FWIW, TimMurphy's banning as a troll from RatSkep was announced today.

I think people who use killfiles are mentally deficient and probably shouldn't be participating on internet fora in the first place.

My "killfile" is my index finger, I just scroll right past anything I don't care to read.

Pretty simple really.
You're mentally deficient if you think a killfile is going to work on a BBcode forum. Go back to Usenet.

I doubt it. His trolling this forum wouldn't garner the reaction he craves.

An opinion is a dangerous thing to hold.

Unless you're advocating genocide of Israelis, in which case, that's okay.

Why use the more obscure term then? It it to show off how long you've been at this bollocks? Trying to get nerd-cred? Getting too old to remember what decade it is?

IMO, only a weak minded fool of an attention whore would feel the need to insult those who don't care to read their ramblings. Such people probably shouldn't be allowed to interact with people who are not trained professionals.

It's not about those who don't want to read the stuff, it's about the mindlessness of having a bot do it for you and it's about the stupidity of being so offended that you have to have your eyes averted by software, which is a testament to the weakness of one's mind, will, and index finger control.

Besides, if you killfile someone you'll never know what they are saying about you behind your back.

Samsa has been suspended for one year for receiving his third active warning. He suggested that Cito thinks like a schizophrenic and that was bang out
of order. He complains about being subject to abuse himself but then does the same to others. He was on probation and was told what would happen if
he received another warning. I hope when he comes here he will man up and accept responsibility and not start moving the goalposts by blaming every
one but himself for what has happened. Now Cito does reciprocate by putting Samsa down himself but however manages to do so by staying within the
rules which is something Samsa has difficulty with. A bit odd that given how he actually helped write the FUA. His comment pertaining to Cito s mental
state was completely unjustified and he should accept it as so. Making fun of someone by suggesting they may be mentally ill is just not on. And now he
has to suffer the consequences of that unfortunately but such is life

That would be a laughably minor matter here.

Once again, the letter verses the spirit.

I wonder if there is a way to determine whether you have a better probability for a long lived Internet community with strict rule of law or a dictatorship.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic.

It is not quite as simple Surri suggests, but CDP did succeed in getting Mr.Samsa to cross the line. All internet trolls should take lessons from Cito.
