No one even spoke to him or alerted as he got more and more outrageous. I would have alerted on all of them. The fact that no one challenged him after repeated posts, told the tale. I thought he was asking to be banned.

But the one and five post wonders did get shown the door. I was on a jury for one of those and suprised it got hidden. The only vote to allow the post to stay said pretty much worse stuff is allowed, so who cares?

But MIRT had already delivered pizza as I went to look at the thread...

You are so right cpamomfromtexas Nov 2014 #36

But what version of justice should we follow? One with a jury or one without a jury? cstanleytech Nov 2014 #37

Maybe one without a prosecutor related to half the police force? Warpy Nov 2014 #38

I guess the answer o that depends on whom one listens to ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #15

Lol - Actually I've also come across some "older" posters that have been defending Wilson. jillan Nov 2014 #24

I can only hope they are gone tomorrow Hekate Nov 2014 #18

MIRT is really doing a good job etherealtruth Nov 2014 #27

I hope so. Those disruptors stuck out like sore thumbs, and certainly not because of their low post valerief Nov 2014 #28

We got some high post counters who really showed true colors today. nt msanthrope Nov 2014 #33

Oh, yeah, them. They're the more finessed ones. nt valerief Nov 2014 #39

I didn't see anything finessed about those OPs. nt msanthrope Nov 2014 #40

Finessed throughout their history because they've lasted so long here. nt valerief Nov 2014 #42
