I did NOT have to give a substantiation, the substantiation had already been given on another thread.

Once a person proves that they are a troll, and it has been done per the agreement on another thread, said poster DOES NOT get to start fresh on another thread.

If, and I say IF, he had stated it in another less flamebaiting way, if he had neglected to attack the poster as he did, then I would have left it alone.

He was showing to ALL of us, that his behavior from the OTHER thread was going to indeed continue in this one.

No warning had to be given, it had already been stated in another thread.

It was a DONE deal, finished, he was on troll alert from then on.

He stepped in it, so I pushed the button.

Your interest in treating other people as you would like to be treated and preventing flamewars seems to be at odds with that behavior. Again, you did not address the warning directly to the victim and more importantly you did not say to that victim why he should believe you, who could have been some yokel from Democratic Underground for all he knew.
