Uh...

He's being a troll. His political views are irrelivant to that fact. I don't call for you to be banned for the filth you believe; if you were a troll I would say you should be banned, even if you agreed with every single word I said.

I think his viewpoint is valid if factually inaccurate, in that he has a right to his viewpoint. Unfortunately, his approach is annoying. I vehemently disagree with UG, but at least UG is sufficiently literate and has a low ratio of noise to content. RC appears to be UGs much stupider clone.

Personally, I don't think he deserves to be banned. Of course, I also didn't think Mari deserved to be banned and I will state that RCs body of work seems similar to hers in terms of attitude and reason (or lack thereof).

In 10 years on various incarnations of the Cellar, only one person ever made it on a permanent basis to my ignore list and I'm pretty sure that it was really a bot. RC really has my mouse twitching on the button.

Bingo, on the money, Rich.

My objection is the proliferating white space and quoting a whole long post just to say, I agree/disagree. It makes it tedious to follow a thread and discourages debate.

Right on Rich. He is actually more of a problem for hard-righters who have to work doubly hard to show that conservatism isn't just for nutters.
