If "controversial viewpoints" means "forum trolling", than I'd totally agree with you. If the mods decided to silently ban him, I'd applaud their decision.

I think you can judge the calibre of a community by the way it treats its most eccentric members.

There's a difference between being eccentric and being an outright boorish troll who does little but put people down.

JLGatsby does have that lack of empathy, and therefore finds it easy to criticize a wide range of people (poor people, stupid people, etc.) Hopefully as he matures he will develop a little depth in the way he sees other people. He did bring originality and flair to the forums, tho. He was one of the few people here who surprised me with an original take or perspective on the world.

it is naive to think that empathy can increase with life experiences?
