There's no insecurities.
A number of people were asking for him to be unbanned, and he asked to come back, so I did it.
However, you can't have it both ways.
If you don't want to see the trolling from him, either give him negative feedback when he does it, or stop asking for him to be unbanned when I ban him.
Marty is of the belief that everyone finds it hilarious when he trolls me. If you disagree and find it tiresome, let him know. Once enough people tell him to STFU, he will stop doing it.
When Marty trolls me, I have the following options:
- Ban him
- Delete the post and ban him from the thread
- Ignore it
- Respond
I do ignore some of the crap he writes, but I'm not just going to sit there while he trolls me constantly on my own site and not give it back.
When he fucks up a serious/good thread, I delete the posts and kick him out of it. But other than that, I don't like censoring critical messages about me, because that will lead to accusations of heavy hands and not being able to take criticism.
Maybe you want the ideal where Marty trolls me, you get a good chuckle at my expense, and I just sit and don't respond. That's not going to happen here.
If you want this type of stuff to stop, give him negative reinforcement, or don't give me a hard time when I eventually ban him.
