Off Topic: A Plea to Radical on the Saints Thread

I think most of his time in the Saints Bounty thread amounts functionally to trolling. Unfortunately, I think he actually believes what he is saying, which means he isn't trying to troll, but the effect is the same. I also think it's troll-ish, for example, to suggest that the Saints are going to go 12-4 after the way they've started, but that's pretty minor.

For the most part, however, Guido is not a problem. I would prefer a bit heavier handed moderation of the troll-ish comments, but I think banning him would be a mistake. And in the end, I'm not a mod, so what I would prefer in terms of moderation is really just subjective and it doesn't really matter. I think the mods here do a good job, and while I don't want this place to become like AFMB where trolls run rampant, I don't think that's happening, and I sure don't want it to become like rival boards where if you say anything negative about the home team you get a permaban.

Thanks, Dave. And, yes, I actually do believe what I am saying as do a growing number of people across the league. And, while 12-4 might be extremely difficult, this team ran off nine straight to finish last season and 13 straight two years before that, so it isn't outside of the realm of possibility.
