Go back and read some of his posts. This guy isn't a troll.

As someone who was once banned for a week for making the most innocuous comment you can imagine, I totally agree with him, and I'm not a troll.

Agree. Although slightly misinformed.

Perhaps, but then I didn't say that he was. In any event, the post has problems in terms of Topics selected (and, IMO, failure to include "Vanity" somewhere in the headline).

In the last week I've seen a thread that had a typical political headline, a typical political first paragraph, then launched into an extend quotation from an explicit pornographic novel.

Another thread posed as a science story, but when you clicked on the source link, it led to a private commercial website unrelated to the story.

Other threads posed as news stories but were fiction, like the Onion, but not clearly identifiable as fiction. The best that can be said about them is that they fed the wishful thinking of FReepers and would have led to many foolish supportive comments.

The management of this site has other criteria for defining trolls, such as returning under a different name after being banned, posting inflammatory articles, posting articles that bring discredit to the reputation of the site, posting articles designed to divide Republicans into waring camps.

Some of these I agree with; others I accept because I'm a guest here.

So, tell us on the open forum what you said that got you banned. Then we can all judge if it was fair or not.
