How is he not banned yet? I'm not religious but his anti-religious blather offends me...

Second I would like to say, I am sorry to anyone I offended with my religion hate. I was having fun and I now it seems I took my fun way too far.

:roll:

The above is dated 3/6 and OP's complaint is on a thread created by DVK916 3/21.

I'm also completely offended and believe something needs to be done with this individual.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Thats the point, on 03/06 he apoligizes and says he will leave. Then on 03/21 he does it again.

I'm not saying the trolling is good, but when does someone get banned for "offending" someone?

Plenty of things I read offend me.

Looks like the Mods did not feel his attitude was appropriate.

A bigoted troll on vacation makes this forum a better place.

However long his "vacation" is, it's not long enough.

That's true but consider if people were to post that gays should die, then blacks are, well if I even hinted, I might be banned, not vacationed. Would you settle for threads saying that blacks should be burned because it would make the world a better place? I wouldn't be thrilled by any means. Substitute the religious for blacks and eventually a slap on the wrist commences. Eventually.

Fact is that this is a board controlled by some people who at some level are sympathetic with the poster. Oh, not advocating violence but certainly convinced of their superiority and don't question that.

I would say hold everyone to the same standard whatever that is, but that's fantasy.

I agree. He is unproductive and a troll, why bother keeping him around at all?

Agreed, no need to keep the OP around in these boards with that kind of behavior.

Unless I'm mistaken this isn't his first vacation, hopefully they gave him a one way ticket this time

My point is not that this poster crossed the line or not. Advocating killing anyone is probably over.

My point is that the original complaint is that he's offensive. Do we send everyone who's offensive on a vacation? It's going to be a pretty barren place then.

Truthfully, this seems less of an offense than a whine to me.

Not, but it's pretty obvious that his posts are intended to be offensive and get a rise out of people. It's the canonical example of trolling/flamebaiting.
