I'm with Jesse-- although I think it is up to the majority of moderators. I am pretty damn tolerant, but the "piss you off later" is the kicker. He has been warned. He has been complained about again. We should follow our procedure. He seems to have a desire to piss people off on purpose, which is at odds with the way our forum works.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

He mocked us for the Stompy Foot post. The "piss you off later" is an indication of how much he cares that he annoys the dren out of people.
Kat, I'm sorry about making you uncomfortable with the venting in Natter, although it's true that it is a historic Buffista tradition. I would never consider venting in Natter about someone I consider a Buffista; but it's clear m. doesn't consider himself a member of the community.
I'll try to restrain myself in future.
But yes, people aren't going to the FF thread because of this one poster. That's not a good sign.

Wow, stay away for a few days and you miss a lot. Anyhoo, I noticed the FAQ says:
Buffy is currently shown twice a day on FX at both 8 AM (7 AM Central) and 7 PM (6 PM Central). The weekend syndication runs at various times of the day, as determined by the individual television station.
...which I believe is incorrect. Doesn't it show at 6 and 7 PM (ET)? And the same two eps the following morning (though I'm not so sure of the time on that, heh.)

I'd say the guy has earned his suspension. He has never apologized. He has been warned once. And his last set of post are definitely personal attacks. I know that calling a person's position obtuse is not always the same as calling that person obtuse. But in context, with the tone of everything else this is clearly what is meant. That is a personal attack, and thus not borderline, but a clear violation. All this is my opinion, only - but I would urge the stompy foots to suspend M at this point.
There is no question he violates the spirit of the Buffista rules. And I have argued above, he violates the letter as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Boy, did I pick a good time to be gone. (Well, yes, holidays, but nice coincidence.) Hugs, support, and power to the Stompy Feet.

Thrive to spite them
I'm not a stompy foot, but I think he should be suspsend, he just comes in here and deliberatly pushes buttons, makes insults and treats us like we are stupid.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Wow. Those were the most intentionally rude posts I've ever read.

If I only had a brain...
Do we have a consensus for stomp, then?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Do we have a consensus for stomp, then?
I'm in agreement. I don't know that he's a troll exactly (I think his problem is more the persecution complex of the intellectually conceited), but it doesn't really matter. He's violated community standards, he's been stompy-foot warned, he's continued to offend community members. And, roughly, promised more to come. By the etiquette guide we established, suspension is the mandated action, and I don't see any reason to make an exception.
