Recently had a thread where a fellow began ranting about Kalifornina (in various creative spellings, imparting meanings beyond politics).
When I suggested that the generalities and rudeness were probably not the best approach, I was ignored.
When I flatly told him he was breaking the rules and to check the Terms & Conditions, he advised me that I had mistaken him "for someone who cares what you think."
And further, that he had lived there and, "I earned the right to call it whatever I please."
No one was arguing with his stance against socialism/communism, erosion of 2A rights, just his presentation.
I dunno if he ever got smacked for that, but it's that kind of conduct that has the mods overworked.
It's not civil, even if it's not technically "trolling."
That same guy, in my house, telling me (or any of my guests) "you've mistaken me for someone who cares what you think," would be shown the door. If he wants to run his household that way, fine. I don't have to visit. In my house, however, he'll either behave or leave.
Oleg has several thousand guests "in his house."
It's not unreasonable that he gets some say in the standards for civility therein.
