Reverend Zombie:

The way he aid that yes, it was, and it was a pointless comment which did not add anything to the discussion. That's why I don't see any problem in telling him to sod off. Doesn't help his case that he has only a half a dozen posts and zero actual contribution to this forum and community.

Like it or not, communities like this do form hierarchies, both official (staff and normal users) and unofficial (based on length of time as a member and amount of contribution) ones.

Frank has been around here for a far longer while than Bonvine has, and despite not having more than 123 posts as of this moment, those 123 posts have almost all been worthwhile reading and have contained discussion, arguments and observations.

Now Crazy Bonvine has been around for less than two weeks, and I've yet to see any worthwhile content in any of his posts. They've all save one been just waste of bandwidth, and more, annoying waste of bandwidth. He's already managed to give me the impression that whenever I see his user name on the forum, I can expect a post with no redeeming value whatsoever. With just 7 posts, that's a pretty impressive achievement.

The sort of trolling he did in this thread, digging up a comment from early on in the first page and just flinging an insult at Frank instead of any real reply, needs to be ruthlessly oppressed.

I don't know whether or not the mods will think me out of line for being this direct and hostile toward another member, and a new one at that, but I'm not in the habit of mollycoddling trolls. Which is all that Crazy Bonvine has so far indicated himself to be.
