zzzz will be dealt with?! he made those comments months ago,if not a year!!! Just now being "dealt with"? Furthermore, that's just the tip of the iceberg, he's made several more (racist comments, supporting david duke videos, defending pehophilia, etc)... Oh, and it's not just ME who thinks there's a double standard, as you have seen, it's most of the people who have participated in this debate... I don't think there's any rational way to think that there is NOT a double standard. In fact, it's one which has been demonstrated in the bannings of several other members which have stemmed from conflicts with him (traderNIK, haroki, on and on and on) yet he's survived all of them, while being the antagonistic party of each conflict! Now I'm getting "warnings" saying "douche bag" while he's going off on "goat fcker" rants and using racially derogatory terms left and right, and now, months/years later it "will be dealt with?" Can you please, with all due respect, tell me how that is not supposed to be seen as a double standard?
Hi Joe, I have been unsuccessful in getting you to reply via PM, so I'll ask here.

A few thoughts, if I may:
1) A double standard which aggressively protects Optional777 and punishes his detractors has clearly been in place for years on this site. Many of us find this policy baffling, as King-Troll Optional777 has never uttered a single word that could be considered helpful or useful to anyone, in over 30,000 posts under various aliases.
2) If is was up to me (and I realize it isn't), I'd just let people talk to each other freely here, never banning anyone except under the most extreme circumstances (or spammers).
3) Just FYI, the King Troll absolutely <b>loves</b> getting negative attention from people, and will even routinely interrupt perfectly on-topic political threads in order to beg for it.

Joe,
No need to protect me from "douchebag" references.
As Sarah would say.....MAN UP!!!

Okay, men, relax...there's nothing more to see here...the riot is over...dry your eyes and quietly move back to your keyboards...you know what to do...if you have to ask, at this point, then it can't be explained. If the Dictator has to show up, it ain't gonna be purdy.

Harrumph!!!!
ART is harmless. Actually, he's the perfect example of a libtard. He makes stupid, easily refuted arguments that can easily be shown to come from political belief, and not from common sense. HE believes his points have merit, but any critical thinker doesn't.
I say keep him....
The expression of political views is an unimportant secondary objective to the creature. <b>It is primarily here to troll.</b>
