I say look at the facts and it seems to me this guy is no troll. was he against the new policy and vocal about it? absolutely, but is that trolling? I just read through his posts and with the new policy issue aside, he seemed to be quite helpful, he connected a guy with the amazon dealer, hooked up a guy with mining questions with the mining forum, explained to a newbie why he didn't think bitcoin was a scam, and told the guy to invest only if he believed in the ideology of the system, that it is not a get-rich-quick scheme, apparently he used the mod button(ok, that was dumb), but it was to get someone tech help. the list goes on and on. looking back quite a ways and I found that he has even dressed up as a friggin bitcoin a galavanted around manhattan. my god the more I look the more I see this guy as being anything but a troll. maybe we shouldn't be so quick to rush into judgement, it is a shame he has been banned, it seems to me that the only crime he commited was speaking out against this new policy, which by the way he was not even restricted by, as he has over 70 posts, he was posting in the newbie forum not because he had to, but because he chose to, and when speaking out against it, it was not to get himself free, or even to end the policy, but rather to try and devise a better solution. He is even posting over at bitcoinforum.net trying to with SgtSpike to devise a better system to keep trolls down. But hey, I guess if you are going to play in someone else court you might as well play by their rules. Cheerio!
