You know that while let's say I had my doubts about clarist for a long time, this thread was to give him a chance to more fully explain himself not to bash.
I admit he is not making it easy not to bash but I'll wait a few more hours before making a final judgement.
I think it will be best when or if we all agree on troll that simply having a gentleman's agreement to ignore his posts might be the best solution.
Just let him die on the vine.
Make his posts like screaming in a vacuum.
When a troll finds he can't get a rise they generally don't hang around for long.
