I love it the way you so often imply that you're not one of the "people" you refer to, as if it's just obvious and everyone except the "trolls" agrees with you. Unfortunately, we all know that isn't true (awkward though you may find that fact)...Ian Smith and other "regulars" have openly killfiled you, and *many* "regulars" have accused you of feeding the "trolls", picking fights, having no self- control, being the main reason that the group turned to ratshit, etc, etc.

It's time that you stop making these ludicrously pompous pronouncements about your opponents, as if it's readily apparent to anyone sane that you are perfect and those who disagree with you are wholly responsible for all this group's problems, never right about anything, singularly incapable of making reasonable posts, and all the other shit you constantly accuse them of. Pretending that things are so black and white all the time just makes you look like a foaming-at- the-mouth fundamentalist halfwit.

You really need to start choosing your words a bit more carefully and thinking about the effect they'll have on those around you.
