For that matter, why are dumb people allowed to use the site? Why are people with stupid political beliefs allowed to talk about them? Why are people allowed to post stupid emoticon posts? Why are people allowed to take up the majority of the site with stupid word games? Why are people allowed to go off topic? Why is Bill allowed to tell people to kill themselves? Why is dlowan allowed to say the site is going to hell in a handbasket for allowing personal attacks while taking advantage of the new leniency to get in personal attacks on the same day? Seriously, there is a veritable shitload of stuff I don't like here. Why don't moderators delete everything I don't want to read before I have to read it?
Btw, I don't believe this counts as 'answered.' This isn't an answer. None of the things you talk about here are what H2O does on a daily basis. You didn't write 'blatant and crude trolling and insults.' It isn't about his political beliefs, half of the right-wingers on the site want him gone too; it's about his intentional disruption of conversation, the kicks that he gets out of calling people puerile and childish names, the race-baiting, the inappropriate comments, and generally shitty behavior. It is bringing the site down to allow this guy to come in and, as kicky put it, **** all over the place.
It isn't good enough to say 'just pretend the **** isn't there.' People can't really do that. I've used the greasemonkey script to ignore various people here, and do you know what? It doesn't work, for they invariably derail every thread they enter, and others who don't ignore them are distracted from actual conversation about interesting things, in order to respond to a vapid troll.
There's no real reason not to ban someone who violates the ToS on a daily basis...
