Actually I found him to be quite amusing. His trolling skills are probably the only ones that surpass my own. What is more mindless is how people interacted with him despite numerous suggestions to ignore him.. I'm not blameless, but bothering to try and contradict him on a rationale level was something I gave up on with in a couple of days.
Doesn't your argument that he was conducting some sort of nefarious bandwidth attack, put every other frequent poster at risk of ban?
