There are lots of guys who troll, are assholes and stalk others. There is nothing in the guidelines about being a troll or a smart ass asshole, which is why they do it. Now, stalking posts and insulting individuals just to get a reaction is supposed to be a guideline infraction, however, that, like all the other guidelines of this site, it is all mod interpreted, therefore sometimes it gets enforced sometimes it doesn't.
Besides, if the staff permanently banned all the assholes and trolls, the very little posting that happens on this site nowadays would be way fewer farther between because those guys are the ones that do most of the posting! They can do that because they are sitting behind a keyboard. There is no doubt I will have one of my stalkers post after me, mark my words.

So yeah, y'all go ahead and keep up the "troll out with your nub out" practice that y'all have shown to enjoy so dearly.
But as far as the idea that overall posting would take a nosedive with more permabans, I think the consensus is that most of us would be cool with that in exchange for the bulk trash that we witness today from you guys. Key word, guys, lol. But yeah, I think everyone would favor quality over quantity for sure! All in favor say what? Aye!
So it's really cool to be in agreement with you on two of your points made in your post! Yay! Only thing I'd butt heads with you about is this talking point you project here and there showing your stance against people following you or quoting you in threads. Remember this, Eccie is a place where most all members are allowed to comment on threads and the commenting doesn't stop when you personally provide your remarks. And noooooo, people that quote you aren't somehow stalking you or to be considered "haters" or anything. Nobody gets to just pretend like they can drop down a comment and then somehow be shielded from other people quoting them as nobody on eccie is that important. Well, except for maybe mods or admins but IDK...
