A long term pattern of baiting and harassment such as the member in question has exhibited, could be taken into consideration, and that's something that ought to be considered, imo.

You didn't answer my question - what would you have us do?
Ban Cigar? For what?
Seriously, give me something. Tell me how we can deal with Cigar and everyone else fairly.
You make the comment that you're thick-skinned to insults. I'm the same way, that's pretty clear from some of the $#@! I've taken and passed over on the forum, but some people aren't thick-skinned and are unhappy with that aspect of the forum.
We're not going to please everyone, not by a longshot. But we can make things fair if that's the least we can do and adhere to rules that are clearly established, which we have.
So back to my unanswered question - what are we going to nail Cigar on?
my junk is ugly
I for one don't care what the troll says in his posts, the problem I have is he tries to dominate these boards constantly copying and pasting over and over to the point of just completely obscuring any chance of dialog. When I first came on here it was a weekend and it was a great forum but when Monday rolled around here came this trolling $#@! and I know he's being paid because he is only on here Mon-Fri 8-5, as far as TM she's harmless because she has nothing to contribute. On any forum right vs left there is going to be strong feelings and name calling, but not a contemptuous spammer, that's what should be banned, period.
The best way out is always through.

I totally agree and I understand where you're coming from.
I log on in the evenings and perusing threads where I'd like to participate, I find that many of them have already morphed into mudslinging oblivion so I pass them over.
Banning Cigar isn't going to stop that, you of all people should realize that considering you're a forum pro to some extent - it happens everywhere.
So again, what to do.
Many forums are strict, we can have this forum running like congressional legislation simply by turning up the moderation a few notches.
Is that what we want?
my junk is ugly
You guys who are being forced to read posts you don't wish to read should call the cops. Something should be done about that.
The best advice we can give you all is put him on ignore and stick to it.
Don't post on his threads.
It's up to YOU.
I made my point, you can see not just that POS but the other, Douchematters as well. If that is the kind of conversation you want to foster, that's up to you. I'm just another $#@! with a big mouth and a lot of opinions, this being one. I'll just leave at some point which will solve my part of the problem.
Bottom line is, as things stand here some of us are fed up. But again, so what? Who the $#@! am I? Just another douchebag on line.
