Read this. This is mainly about you guys reading me because my trolls are the worst.

I’m all for moderators doing what they need to do to keep discussions civil but seriously Oliver, it’s painfully clear who your trolls are.

Ban ‘em already.

I’m just glad to be back below the threshold with the KoolKidz. Even if some of them are not very kool.

Hey gang! How is everyone? Gosh, those mean and nasty trolls are the worst. Especially the ones that pretend to be someone they aren’t. I hate it when people do that. Good thing Ben and Oliver have a handle on it now. We don’t want to jinx anything.

  Congratulations on coming out.
  “those mean and nasty trolls are the worst.”
  True, but they’re self-defeating in the end.

Oliver,

These notices are self-defeating. The trolls, like any predator, smell the blood. When you post the rules & such, you admit that their behavior impacts you. This, in turn, only makes them try harder. Their goal is youe annoyance.
And as DA says, they’ve now hijacked Burn’s name.

  On the other hand, unless you post rules, any disciplinary actions can be considered arbitrary, and yadda yadda yadda…

    Buzz, great point. How you doing big guy?
- Burn
  
  I am glad you just told Oliver all about yourself. I am going to ask him to ban you for using my name in vane. Didn’t know there were assigned names. I am Burn. Get it through your thick skull. Ollie, might need a ban on this one. Sorry buddy pal

    Using your name in vane? Which way does the wind blow?
  - Tom Dufner
    
    Of course you are the only Burn that’s ever posted here. How dare anyone try and say otherwise? Gosh, that must be so scary having people stalk you online. Who knows what kind of information they might be able to find out about a person in this day of information that’s all online for free with a few clicks of a mouse?

What about someone who is impersonating someone else, as in the case of Burn, Ollie?
- Burn
  
  Ollie knows who I am and knows I add value to his blog. He knows I am Burn. Sorry Dark Avenger, I am impersonating no one. I am BURN
  - Tom Dufner
    
    Hey Burn, how are you buddy?
