    Petition to Give Resister A Second Chance

    We petition to moderators and admin to unban resister and give him a second chance. He may have overreacted to trolls but was a good guy and popular contributor to the forum.

    The poll is not public but you can post opinions.

    I know you guys liked him but he was a troll. Of his 65+posts a day maybe 2 contained anything besides insults. He followed people around the forum to insult them. He drug crap up outta the hole to attack people with. He was not a good faith poster. And finally most of what he said you conservatives liked because he was parroting you, not making original contributions.

    I voted an emphatic YES.

    You really should not call anyone a troll unless you are talking to yourself in a mirror. You are one of the worst posters I have seen on any forum.

    I would have made the poll public, it would help to see how partisan the opinions are.

    Another note, how many threads like this one has been created in the history of tPF?

    Not everyone thinks partisan.


    I'm guessing the first. It's based on two threads linked in the OP, thread that are, iirc, firsts.

    I would disagree, for people to even take the time to participate in a political forum, they would have to have some sort of skin in the game. Some may pretend to be able to debate ideas objectively, but in reality, that is seldom the case.

    Well, you missed my point. Like a joke, it's not worth explaining.

    You have no room to criticize anyone.
