I’ve had him on ignore so I feel it’s inappropriate for me to vote.

I think it is the opposite. You should very much vote. You already voted with your choice to ignore him. Make it official.

I don’t think you’d like my vote. I would vote to unban bc I don’t think I would ban someone for constant negativity or even the reason I ignore him, for the incessant repetition. I think I would only ban someone for being a consistent jerk. Actually if they’re constantly found lying I’d ban for that too, but I think I put him on ignore early enough to avoid most of that.

when he’s here some threads get derailed and somewhat difficult to read as people are responding to him, but it’s not tough to skim over those. If enough people ignore him he loses his audience and either (a) changes his posting style for the better or (b) goes away on his own as he ends up talking to himself.

I think I am the only one who talks to him anymore. LOL. Not sure I should vote either.

OK. Good choice then!

Here's the issue. Most just can't help themselves from engaging.

Absolutely not. a permaban is a permaban. Too much trolling in most boards on this site, has been warned numerous times to stop, and he frankly doesn’t enhance the quality of any interaction. Addition by subtraction

 

[Raze]

May I suggest posters read at least the first two linked pages of a game thread and note poster interaction.

Funny, I never read that since I have him blocked most of the year. That is wildly entertaining to read a year later.

I'd rather not ban him for things like that. He looks all the more the fool when he hunkers down on that nonsense.

For posters like him I try my best to apply the Proverbs 26:4-5 rule: "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will also be like him. Answer a fool as his folly deserves, that he not be wise in his own eyes." (Admittedly I don't always pass that standard.)

Suns are 37-19 since that post. Let him keep talking. Maybe it's good luck. I'm sure there's some dude that started chirping in 2001 that the Patriots run will soon be over, then in 2021 said "told ya so".

 

[mjb21aztd]

Unban him if more trouble again permanent ban

 

[mjb21aztd]

I voted to unban because the news just isnt as fun anymore and i need reading material for my poops.

Hey is this the shaq only guy from a while ago? 1sun

ha!

 

[SunnyBaller]

This is an online sports forum, despite his excessive obsession with hating some players, he does talk sports, as much as you may hate what he says he shouldn't be banned for his opinions. it's not hard to skim over his posts as ouchie said , I don't see any reason at all why he should be banned permanently. Atleast I wouldn't if I was making the decision

 

[Chris_Sanders]

@Chris_Sanders can you tell us how long his recent ban has been going?

It was two.months. It will be up soon so this was like a week or two early

 

[Krangodnzr]

I think the fact that so many posters have him on ignore should tell you that he really detracts from this forum.

I've had him on ignore for awhile and it really screws up with the flow of posts because he posts the same crap over and over and people still respond to it.

 

[gimpy]

There you go. Don't respond.

 

[Yuma]

He does have some valid points at times. I find not attacking him personally, but discussing the point and why you agree/disagree works best.

The problem I've seen with him is that even when he is objectively proven wrong he continues to disagree over and over and over and over and over...

But he’s not the only poster guilty of that. He’s just the most annoying.

 

[JerkFace]

@Chris_Sanders Is this poll whether we should keep his ban for the original punishment (2 months) or whether we should permaban him?

 

[Superbone]

The problem isn't the negative content. You'll find that on any sports site. It's the repetition of said content. It makes the threads hard to follow when you have him ignored. Frankly, it has kept me away from this site when it comes to Suns forum reading.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Look no further than his complaints of Nader being undersized with short arms to see the type of drivel that gets him ignored on this board.

I can live with someone that just focuses on the negative things, but at least focus on something real and not made up things like the above example.

Cam Johnson is his most egregious subject.

No it's if we give him early release. I just had a few requests for it.

This is why he was banned originally, not for negativity but just harping on the same things in every thread until someone takes the bait and argues with him

As it does in real life. Censorship is almost always the wrong way to handle differing opinions.

In short, the very definition of trolling
