I can't help but wondering why such a blatant troll is allowed free reign...

All the electrons wasted in reply to Bo(o)B's TL posts could propel an electric bus for a week.

...since it's obvious that the only reason he posts is to rile people. There's a fine line between posting a lot of garbage, like Decker, and posting only garbage which is causing damage to the atmosphere on a forum.

Yep, I've stopped responding to him too. Still, the simple fact that he stops responding *after* someone has been baited

I'll weigh in on this. I've pretty much completely ignored any BoB TL post for a while now. However, we do have a way

That's my approach: I never reply directly to him, and rarely post to any thread he starts.

As opposed to Louie??

We as a society seem to be losing the ability to have civil discourse
lrcable

I have thought about that. I was wondering if people would still show as much road rage if their faces were projected...
Wilko

I would say that BoB is the best example of that

I seldom read his posts, but a lot of the responses seem a bit more than slogans

Don't get me wrong, I understand the pruning the bush approach, and I've been pretty much comfortable with it for many..

At least we know Louie and Albert are real people who believe what they write

Albert is generally civil

I think that you touched a very important point there.
