Is posting unrelated to economics in any way not trolling? though you're a long time member of the forum?
I might have been here a long time, but I'm not a moderator; I'm not Theymos; this forum has "unofficial" rules that poorly define trolling; and the offense of trolling is inconsistently punished by the mods.
And I read most of that dude's posts, and I do in fact think they lean more toward trolling than not--but I can't help but look at crap like that the way the forum does, which is in a manner that is extremely tolerant of speech. Offensive speech isn't censored here (usually). It's only when someone goes way overboard and makes a very high/very frequent amount of extremely offensive posts that they'll get banned--and even then nothing is certain. Cryptohunter and his alts got away with tons of shit for over a year at least with no sanctions.
I must have overlooked it.
You overlooked my extremely high-quality, well thought out masterpiece of a post on a forum with thousands of new posts being made every hour? I find that very offensive, and I've reported your post. [/joke]
