Should I vote your post to be removed because you merely provided a link to a news item? [EDIT] My brain farted as I typed the original message, and I typed "to merely provided" instead of "you merely provided".

You're missing the point. Having provided a link, he will discuss it. He is not flooding us with links and then abusing us if we try to talk to him to work out the point he is trying to make.

I stand with Jon on this one. People have specifically targeted Troy for posting a single link with no input. Its irrelevant if he discusses later. In fact, I once did the same, and later said I did it to inspire discussion that I wanted to contribute to and Oakman called me a troll. So, Jon is 100% correct. Its selective treatment for a single link posting style.
This statement is false

:shrug: I voted for the removal of this thread as well. Happy? I'm not sure where you're going with this argument... it looks suspiciously like you're trying to defend one person's persistently poor behavior by pointing out the existence of this behavior elsewhere. If you really want to see this turn into Digg then just say that. Or go use Digg.

If you're in love with Troy, take him home with you and stay up all night talking, or showing him your man points. Why should we babysit him for you?

Oh c'mon, don't be such a dick. You already know my stance. I don't agree agree with the way he's handling himself, but the soapbox isn't supposed to be held to the same high standards as the other forums, and should therefore be bereft of message purging (and your over-the-top handling of his messages just hurts the Soapbox). If his posts bother you so much, simply ignore them. It's easy. Really.

I'm not missing anything. If he posts a link and doesn't want to engage afterwards, who really gives a flyin' fuck?

I don't know if Arizona has a similar law, but we have "the castle doctrine" here in Texas, and I'm tellin' you - there'd be some dead Mexicans on my lawn if they pulled that crap here.

I'm not a dick, or a tom, or a harry. I was trying to be funny, though I suspect it wasn't one of my better efforts. :sigh:

The problem is that you encourage him to post more of the same old crap, when many of us who prefer to hang out in the John Simmons Memorial Soapbox, have been eager to convince him to either change his ways or change his preferred place of posting. Just before he disappeared again, he was actually trying to play it straight, and maybe, if he continues in that vein, folks will change their minds about auto-reporting him. As I pointed out earlier, one of his messages has survived - the one where he actually admitted he didn't know anything about the subject under discussion. :-D As far as what the Soapbox should or shouldn't tolerate, I figger that's far more important to the folks who like to post here than the ones who come in occasionally and or the ones who stick to the lounge but make disparaging remarks about SB. And as far as your stance goes, I may not agree with it but I will fight to the death for your right to have it - unless I am in the next cubicle in the airport men's room. ;)

That's the point you are missing. Some of us do. I for one am sick and tired of him announcing that all true Christians hate all Muslims. Even though I'm not a true version of either, it pisses me off.

I'm not real good at turning the other cheek. I leave that for the wussies.

Nothing wussy about it - you just need to be man enough to ignore it. If you're not man enough, then rattle your cage and vent your testosterone while you grow into maturity sufficiently to look back on your actions as the childish immaturities that they are.

It's obvious that your current approach is having no effect. He continues to do shit that pisses you off (at least I assume he does - by the time I get back in here, his messages have been removed). There are much better discussions going on in here for you to worry about Ilion.
