Who are you referring to? Surely not Dave, or Tim? apvbguy doesn't strike me as a troll, only as someone who has read, and been impressed by, an article that most of us consider biased. He originally posted on the Tesla S thread, and I suggested the conversation be moved here where we could address what the article says. He has been insulted, and he responded with restraint. I'll continue to consider him an honest questioner until he demonstrates otherwise.

Really, Ray? He claims the President was not born in the U.S. and is the "product of a prostitute."

That comment may not make him a troll, but it is indisputably heinous, loathsome and racist.

Such remarks utterly disqualify him from being treated with any respect on this forum in my book, and if I were a moderator he would no longer have an account to post here - on any topic.

And you fret that he has been insulted?

this guy is the perfect example of the cancerous attitudes of the extreme left, intolerance and ignorance from any part of the spectrum is just plain wrong. In his perfect world anyone who isn't in lockstep with his views and opinions must be silenced and removed. this guy would have fit in well in the totalitarian regimes of the last century that murdered hundreds of millions of dissenters.
We are all fortunate that a closed mind twit like this poster is not a moderator or in any type of position of authority, this example of his extremism is sickening.

[thankyouOB]

ray, check the history.

glad you enjoy the discourse but really, you told him to start a thread on how carbon dioxide is benign as a capping agent?
ck venus.

A forum that blithely overlooks vile and despicable invective rooted in racism, that refuses to censure it, and not only tolerates but welcomes and defends its perpetrator, has fallen into a grave ethical abyss.

I support open and tolerant debate of issues as controversial as the "defense of carbon dioxide" no matter how absurd (and that one patently is). But I will not be a silent party to the odiously offensive and transparently racist libel that at least a few here seem to take no umbrage with, and even encourage by looking the other way.

There is an elephant in this room: its heart is black, its soul depraved, and its brain twisted. Ignore it at your own moral peril.

You've got my vote, timhebb.
