I've been strongly tempted to kick SynapticKnob off a few times now, including once today. I forget what the person said, but in that case it was related to autism directly and was wildly inaccurate lies of some kind.
We could take the practice of replying to every inappropriate comment with something like "homophobia is not acceptable" and then immediately delete both our comment plus whatever she said..
It's a tough call, though, and I'm way too out-of-it tonight to think clearly enough to be of much use. :-/
You've all tried to reason with him/her, and logic fails because they won't respond in kind. So now I'd say start deleting those stupid comments, as you say, Moggy.. might irritate them enough to cause them to leave on their own. Or it might make them blow up and give you an excuse to ban 'em!
Well, we do get into stubborn reels y'know. Bulldog tenacity just isn't for perseverations anymore.
Actually, I've been having a hell of a time with vitki he/she is a serial poster, posted a lot off topic that was really weird and leaves a lot of excessive comments (most of which I deleted, yes.)
Wow, what a total idiot. She must be Mormon or something, no offense to any Mormons out there, I wouldn't want someone like her representing my religious theories, either.
I couldn't bring myself to read the third one - the first two were enough to give me a headache.
First of all... this person needs to learn to distinguish between sexuality, sex, and gender.
Only sex is unaffected by culture.
Second... I don't think he/she/it (I'm putting my money on 'it') needs a good swift kick to the head. I mean, needs to take a first year anthropology class, of course. Ahem. Kicktothehead.
Heh, she's not a troll, just a bigot, and like many of her kind canNOT shut UP about how she's right and you're wrong.
Which, admittedly, comes to nearly the same thing.
If it was me, I'd wait till this latest kerfuffle dies down. I've only seen her post the one shit-stirring post so far. If she goes on like this (a la our naked friend) then she'd qualify as disruptive, but at the moment she's just offensive and not banworthy. IMO, of course.
Makes sense. I *did* post a similar thing on the comm proper, asking if it was okay. Don't like the concept of overstepping my bounds, and I had something else to say as well.
I don't think she's trolling (except for the one post); I just think she's an idiot.
Stop responding to her. Delete off-topic comments and posts. She'll either begin sticking to topic or blow up and give you an unequivocal reason to ban her. Either way, you win.

I know, I shouldn't've replied. I'm horrible at taking my own advice. I think I'll post a general warning and then see if she shapes up.
