Sam was a quintessential troll who flooded the forum with his incessant and repetitively-themed and extreme right-wing threads to the point of nausea. Hell, even some of the most conservative members of this forum would abandon him and turn a blind-eye to many of his inane and banal arguments! He was also a narcissistic attention whore who repeatedly went way out of his way to deliberately make a spectacle of himself as a member of Freeones. I was totally turned off by the fact that he temporarily and single-handedly changed the entire nature of the talk section of the forum. He also was an extremely narrow-minded individual who showed little ability to accept or grasp any well-founded argument and subsequently and regularly resorted to insulting, inflammatory and diversionary tactics to make up for his incredibly shallow information stream and his extremely rudimentary level of knowledge or education on any given subject.
THAT SAID....as a constitutionalist and faithful believer in the freedom of expression, unless he violated some major tenet of the forum of which I am presently unaware, I personally see no reason for him to be permanently banned from the site. Am I sorry he's gone? Hell no. He was an asshole and a total pain in the ass. However, if those were the criteria in order for any of us to be banned, I dare say that many a member here would be similarly barred from Freeones.
I do, however, think it unwise to post any posthumous threads that are devoted to him as they can only feed his insatiable appetite for attention....now, as the inevitable "outside-looking-in" observer who is undoubtedly consumed with a desperate craving for an opportunity to return to the forum in order that he may once again become the center of attention to compensate for what must be an incredibly empty and bankrupt personal existence for him in the real world.
JMO of course....others may disagree. We got over Baconsalt....we'll get over Sam.
I stopped reading this thread at this post. Someone recommend this for post of the year!
It so perfectly sums up everything about Sam and his situation.
I voted a resounding "No"
