Since this has escalated to giving the guy a thread with his name in
the title; would someone mind linking some of his more prolific
trolling. Any hijacked threads? Common trollish behavior such as
insult a person directly. T

his "Ilias is Crazy" is becoming bit trite. I also think it's a bit
arrogant to single out and ostracize someone. I don't know if this
person has mental issues or not. It also does not matter.

He definitely has an abrasive way of expressing himself but far be it
for me to judge him based on his lack of socialization.

Telling people not to respond to someone sounds like some sort of
elitist click or beginning of an association fallacy. It also proves a
lack of diplomacy, tolerance, and empathy from those imposing such a
ridiculous crusade.

I agree with the poster above if some silly auto-email "llias warning"
becomes tied to the sign-up  or mail daemon I'd be extremely set back.
Something like that as well as this thread also reinforces the ad
hominem since you have issued a scarlet letter for the man.

From where I'm sitting he seems "Mostly Harmless".

Think about the community proverb: Matz is nice, so we are nice.

From my observations this entails these idioms:

Matz does not alienate llias, So neither should I
Matz practices tolerance, So shall I
Matz is diplomatic, So am I
