Thanks for posting the links to those two posting histories, Norm. Sometimes it takes looking at someone’s posting history to clearly see a pattern of abuse or trollish behavior.
I really think it’s the way to go with the Trolls. Point it out, link it and let the readers decide. PDSers and trolls in general are not interested in debate, they just want to stir crap and get a reaction.
They can scream ‘thread cop’, they can call it ‘cyberstalking’ They can accuse me of ‘threatening and bullying’ and they have. Don’t much care. Got me a VK shield that deflects that nonsense real well ;) A salted slug and an exposed troll give the same reaction...lots of writhing around with no relief in sight.
Their own words aren’t so easily avoided. Most people never bother to check and see who they are dealing with. If more did, the trolls would have no one, or fewer at least, to ‘play with’ and FR would benefit from the due diligence of all.
