We don't have to ban him for bending the rules. He will, sooner rather than later, break them, and the mods will ban him. Trolls always end that way, and even if it is a minor infraction he'll fall under the three strikes rule.

Yep. Troll feed on the mayhem their posts cause. Back when the usenet was the means of threaded communication it was well known that the more a troll was fed the more he would troll. As hard as it sometimes is the single best method for dealing with trolls is to not respond to them. One of the best places I ever saw that principle in action was in rec.pets.cats. Trolls would come there and post the most vile things trying to get a rise out of the regulars but generally the only responses they would get would come from the uninitiated. The regular posters would ignore the posts like they never happened.

LOL, now he is whining about names. This guy just likes to point out cultural differences in every way possible.
