Yes, useless. I posted a link to his history; read it.
In my opinion, yes.
Yeah...I mean, who should have, like, the absolute power, dude, to, like, punish people who do bad things? I mean, like, man...next thing you know, people could actually be punished for comitting crimes! Whoa... I mean, like dude...(setting down bong)...if we, like, grant people like moderators the power to, like...keep sixteen year old kids with Beavis and Butthead posting styles out of here, like..dude, the forum..wow, what a concept...(taking hit from bong)...I mean, like...might actually be more pleasant and enjoyable, like others.
But think about it, dude (takes deep hit): I mean, like, there are people who, like, decide things are wrong, and actually enforce rules! I mean, like, you can't speed in your car, you can't smoke weed (huh-huh...huh..huh), you can't have sex with children (unless you're Michael Jackson)...dude!! What kind of ***** and Commies are these to try and enforce certain rules of conduct in a society or a forum??
Wow...what did I just say? (hits bong again)...dude!!
Wow, that sucks...because I was really advocating arresting these guys in the middle of the night and dragging them off to gulags, as opposed to stepping in and shutting them down in response to their polluting our forums with idiotic, nonsensical posts. Thank you for spotting that....comrades, unite!! Off to the gulags with them!!
I am not referring to off-topic posts in the off-topic forum; I am speaking of trolling in the on-topic forums. Subtle distinction there, oh great defender of the idiotic.
Feel free to speak for all members, but again, I am referring not to anything which goes on in the off-topic forum, but specifically to his behavior in the "kill stories" forum, which basically consists of inciteful, childish, stupid, borne-of-sour-grapes rants at any Mercedes owner who--gasp--actually posts about winning a race in the kill stories forum.
But gee, you're right...flaming Mercedes owners who post about winning races in a Mercedes Kill Stories forum is very productive and enriching.
I'm sorry, dude, but it's very politically incorrect of you to, like, make light of others' religious beliefs. Like, dude, take a hit, and, like, respect others' diversity, dude, so that you can, like, eat a veggie burger, prevent animal testing, and like fight the power, dude.
And if you want to argue like an idiot, with stupid, wildly off-the-mark analogies, black-and-white metaphors, I would suggest that you stick to AM talk radio.
If you'd care to substantively discuss at what point someone crosses the line, y'all come back now, y'heah?
Oh, and for someone who so loves freedom of speech for trolls, you do a damn fine job of trying to stamp it out for anyone who protests them here, Jethro...mighty fine job o' hypocrisy!

Definitions of a Troll......
According to a 1908 cyclopedia: "Trolls are Dwarfs of Northern mythology, living in hills or mounds; they are represented as stumpy, misshapen, and humpbacked, inclined to thieving, and fond of carrying off children or substituting one of their own offspring for that of a human mother. They are called hill-people, and are especially averse to noise, from a recollection of the time when Thor used to throw his hammer at them."
If exposed to sunlight they turn into rock.......

Posers should get banned as well-- whoa, there goes 90% of MBWorld, than the trolls, who actually own a Benz, should also get banned, there goes the next 5%, and heres what you're left with:
4-10 MBWorld "Vets" as it were, who talk amongst themselves and do nothing more. Much you have accomplished.
Tuscan, I'll do the thumb-wrestle thing on account I get 50%.

Now if you would just get rid of that misguided liberal belief-system, Etenn and I would even consider taking you out for beers.

Just spent a lot of time on different forums with members interested in discussing/debating topics rather than continual pickering. Its really too bad, yourself, junyo, session, ... used to share very good information in the heated discussions, now its just NWS crap being posted everyday, or no interesting posts at all. The really disapointing MBWorld posts are the 'snob' posts that have escalated recently. I drive a C-class and live in a townhouse and recently done a lot of work on my house and car and would post pics, yet after judging the responses as of late, no way, the members here wouldn't appreciate them so I post elsewhere.
I thought you wouldn't like my response, since it is still 'run and cry to the mods' yet with reason. If membership drops off here, then sponsors lose money. Look at the amount of stuff I've done to my car in the past year, none bought from a sponsor here since I post mostly on the other C-class forum and woud rather spend money with its sponsors. That's why I decided to comment here. Membership and interesting informative topics are decreasing, and its all bad for sponsors. From the conservative perspective I'd hope you'd agree, since ultimately its money that makes the rules (despite how us liberals would like to think otherwise :p ).
So where has everyone gone? I haven't seen many posts by the conservative members lately...
