You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You were just waiting for the opportunity to use that, weren't you?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You were just waiting for the opportunity to use that, weren't you?

Actually, no.

But when one came up, I went for it.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

Betsy, what do you want me to say? Because that was just gross.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What stage are we at? Because he's pissing all over the community standards.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

This guy has been a nuisance since he first appeared. He backed down from overt trollishness (Nazis were mentioned, and I got flamed on-thread), but has been skating a not-so-fine line ever since. The problem is, he could probably point at things other people posted and ask why they aren't getting flack. Still, I think this guy needs a stompy foot to give him a nice, official warning that explains why so many people find him so offensive.

Suela just left a lovely and polite message. We'll see if it takes.

To my knowledge, nothing's been done (no warnings or anything like were done for the Real Actual Trolly Troll).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There was one in thread warning for averagejoe. Nothing official for mieskie, though.

Yeah what should be done about that guy?

Did he violate policy in a way we can quote to him?

I'm assuming we're talking about his comments about MT, or is there more?
