These forums ought not be the place for playing roles, but rather for constructive discussion, and respectful argument. One cannot be an objective contributor if one has a specific goal from the getgo. The role that he plays prevents him from ever acknowledging his own errors, only the errors (or in most cases, perceived errors) of those around him. The results of this banter are endless fighting, and toxic discourse that never resolves itself. Which is why I and others are actively ignoring him. No good can come of this kind of activity. It just brews hatred, and doesn't add anything to the community.

I agree with you that he's not exactly a troll, because he's absolutely serious in his beliefs. However, his actions serve the same purpose as those of a troll, and therefore he's functionally indistinguishable from one.
