This discussion doesn't really belong at the moderation page
You sound a lot like MC, to be honest. I'm pretty sure he said something highly similar to "Judging from the emails I'm getting, my actions have quite a wide range of support" when he was defending his trolling.
Your efforts to get rid of Maratrean and Brxbrx are not misguided, but your methods are, in my opinion. I'm not going to defend them, but I'll not join your petty trolling crusade either.
Association fallacy.
I've just had someone offer me an 18-year old bottle of whiskey. If that's the reward for pettiness, I'll be petty all day long.
Hey, I was just pointing out something that you triggered in my memory. I was one of MC's defenders, I helped return him after his first lengthy ban. His crusade against "humorless tossers" isn't so different from yours, only he targeted higher-profile users. Anyway, it would be hypocritical for me to attack you for doing the same thing I supported MC for, I just realized. Meh. Carry on if you must.
I'm really curious, SR, cause maybe my sense of humor is lacking -- what "fun" has been removed OTHER THAN trolling someone's page. You imply that there is less fun here, so i'd love to see specific examples of actually funny things that have been removed.
Trolling, by the way, is not funny to me. It never has been, no matter who is trolling for what reason on what site. But clearly you and no one else get to define "fun" for all of us, hum?
