and then you go and post on his question.To put it simpler,
Don't feed the troll.
First, I have used the ignore feature. But secondly, threads started by an ignored user do NOT disappear from view. I wish they did. I try to keep up by using the new posts feature and the results are cluttered by users I have ignored. I have to pretend to read all the threads to filter them out... Annoying (a forum issue; not a user issue).I keep saying this, use the ignore feature. Threads he has started should also disappear from view, though I'm not sure of that.

I have responded to your other points via PM.
Actually we follow the ToS, both in spirit and letter, very well. The moderators work very closely as a team. It is one of our strengths. We also do not allow Ad Hominem attacks, another strength. This site is not about being popular or pleasing the audience, that comes with doing the mods doing their jobs well. This site is All About Electronics. As long as a user is asking questions that is the reason for this site they will be allowed to stay.
I haven't dropped the question because lying is all too easy, especially when no eye contact is involved. But if you drop the question yourself and an OP admits to posting restricted content, then I'll gladly take action against it.NOT ONCE has a moderator asked the most important question's, Are these drawings to do with your work? AND are they ANYTHING to do with aircraft.
It's been said before: Every new account gets a clean slate in AAC. We don't care what you have been doing in your previous incarnation on the internet.Having seen first hand what the member in question has done to other forums using the same tactics, The answer is "just let him"?
He, like SI before him, comes in and pretty much floods the group with threads and basically wants members to accept his view of the topics. And those that do try to show him where he is wrong are flat out ignored. And this is "civil"?
If this guy was a totally new and different person, I would never have said one word about this. Every one has the right to their own way of being. But this guy has a past track record. The mod's even warned the group in one thread, "you should know that DexterMcCoy and BillyMayo share an IP address and could be the same person". If there was/is no concern over him, why the warning? He is so unwanted online that when his IP address shows up on other places he is instantly banned, no matter what name he is using then.
Why should AAC become the "Island of Misfit Toys"? Is this a thing that AAC should become known for on the web? AAC has a very high credibility. On a lot of Google questions it's the first hit. Wouldn't it be great if when some one asks, "where are trolls welcome?", AAC was a first hit?
