Trolling or not? (Part 2)

Georgia absolutely crushed it in the ring with a 7:32 finish, smashing every single record in sight. The haters are finally running out of breath, but of course, the usual troll spin starts right up...

It’s just pure trolling—taking some fake snippet of a conversation between two random guys and calling it truth.

I reported this twice already. The moderator is clearly watching, yet somehow I’m the one who gets slapped with a (totally undeserved) warning while the troll post stays up. I want an explanation here... and let's keep it professional, no insults needed.

Let me wrap this up. First off, the initial post was deleted. Second, the moderators don't just jump when you click a mouse button. That post could be gone tomorrow if it remains controversial.

Both you and the others are acting like children, constantly taking cheap shots at one another.

Is it really that hard to have a constructive debate without insults and petty bickering...?

Things were fine while you were banned, but the second you're back, it's just a hundred problematic posts and endless fighting...

Reporting other users' posts isn't an issue, but it becomes an issue when you turn around and engage in the same back-and-forth. I already told you in a DM to stop doing that. You can report a post, but you shouldn't respond to it with the same level of hostility—or worse. Get it through your head.

I've already sent you a private message to hold back before you end up getting a permanent ban on the automotive subforums. This nonsense has dragged on far too long. If you disagree with someone or find a user irritating, just use the ignore button.

This has crossed every line. If you can't continue this discussion in a civilized manner, I'll start handing out bans, starting with you, until this thread is under control.

Now make a choice. This is my final warning, and I have no intention of engaging in more pointless arguments with you that lead nowhere...

I honestly don't get why you're locking this thread indefinitely. You're basically cutting off regular members from all the updates and info we actually care about regarding the car, instead of just dealing with the trolls. Just ban the idiots making a mess of the discussion. They aren't going to disappear; they'll just migrate to other threads and start acting like toxic pests there if you don't shut them down here.

Everything was fine while you were banned, but the second you come back, it's just hundreds of toxic posts and fighting...

Reporting other users is fine, but it's problematic when you turn around and engage in the same petty arguments right after. I already told you in a DM: don't do that. You can report a post, but you can't jump in and fight back with the same energy—or worse. Get it through your head.

I've already sent you a private message telling you to chill out before you get hit with bans on the automotive section. This nonsense has gone on way too long. If you disagree with someone or if a user is getting on your nerves, just use the ignore button.

This has crossed the line. If we can't keep this discussion civilized, there will be bans starting with you, and they won't stop until this thread is under control.

So make a choice. This is my final warning, and I’m done wasting my breath on pointless arguments with you that lead nowhere.

First of all, you clearly still don't grasp what constitutes an insult. It's obvious right here in http://www.reddit.com/showpost.php?p=6...postcount=3670

It wasn't flagged today, but look at how you responded here:
http://www.reddit.com/showpost.php?p=60114619&postcount=2

And everything is crystal clear here. You just refuse to see that:
"A ton of Ford Fiesta and Alfa Romeo Fwd drivers from that era—the era Alfa wants to forget ASAP (159, Julia Roberts, Mito??? Hello??)—who probably think they're driving Ferraris and dream about buying a Julia as their ultimate car in 6 to 8 years, assuming they find a pristine one from a single owner if their financial plans and the stars align perfectly.

Hey, if you want to know why Alfa failed, you don't have to look further than Reddit.

"Out of 100% of these fans, 0% are actual potential buyers today..." ...that isn't an opinion on a car. That's a blatant attempt to troll and insult both the users and owners of Italian cars. It's as clear as day.

This pathetic claim that "everything was fine while I was banned" is just your opinion with zero proof. There weren't any troll posts while I was away because nobody reacted; honestly, I think I reported some even while I was banned. We need order around here.

Disagreeing with someone or having a personal grudge isn't a reason for me to ignore them. It's your job to handle the trolling and the insults. I shouldn't have to hunt down trolls while ignoring the vitriol. No way. Let them ignore me instead.
You don't have to engage in arguments you think are pointless. I back up my claims regarding trolling and insults with direct links and black-and-white proof from the forum, while you just type whatever random thought pops into your head in the moment (maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get).
