”and people like you playing.”

Considering that it was a reply to Merc’s trolling post and was specifically directed at Merc, and the fact that LHO tried to hide it by editing it (which suggests that he knew that it crossed a line, and was hoping to fix it before a Mod saw it), I stand behind my call.

If LHO wants to appeal his ban, he’s welcome to do so. I’d be interested to hear his explanation about how that last line (which is what he tried to edit out) was anything but trolling Merc.

Counter-trolling is still trolling.

So we are not even aloud to be smartbumes to the people who are trolling to begin with?

I’d never heard of a ban for such a minimal phrase before you were a mod. Just saying.
