But you're complaining about their behavior in the politics forum, where Redux is orders of magnitude better than Merc.

I concede the point
Redux's volume is almost uniformly responses to other posts. Why doesn't Merc get a +20?

I think it's fairly obvious that TheMercenary is generally trolling in the politics forum, and more explicitly trolling Redux. I don't think that the usual prescription of ignoring trolls until they go away would work, because, as you say, Merc participates in other forums, and isn't likely to be ignored there.

If anyone else wanted to engage TheMercenary in the politics forum (and I did), he would be just as trollish to them. If anyone else engaged Redux, they would get a well researched and thoughtful response. I don't see how a response to monster's questionnaire affects that.
