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.

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

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

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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And he's just pulled the "other people talked about cocksucking" argument. Argh.

The Buffistas are an inclusive, welcoming, and flame-free community. Play nice, and you've found a home away from home. If you make personal attacks or offensive posts, or try to start a fight, you will be shunned. However, newbie mistakes are usually corrected gently and informally. Lurk for a while and you'll learn our language.

in addition to what was posted before about how one's suspended, etc.

I was afraid he'd do that... (in response to Dana's post)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

This is doing my head in.

If I only had a brain...

Fay, you're consistently funny; you don't go beyond the seaside-postcard level of crude. Don't think otherwise.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's your community, do as you will and don't fret too much more. There's been a lot of discourse, I'm not going to cry if Stompy Foot goes Shack. I'd expect anyone here to tell me when I'm out of line, or ban my ass if I suddenly lost my shit and started making everyone uncomfy on a day to day basis.

Yes. Some people are oversensitive to a fault. OTOH, some people are insensitive to a fault. Both make me close the window and go someplace else. Ya know?
