If that were the case, a lot of other posters would have gone ages ago.

Moderators on any and all forums have the authority to ban someone if they are trolling in such a way as for it to become a distraction from anything else. That doesn't mean trolling per se (which I do not, personally, take to mean being abusive per se) is barred.

I always used/use the pub tap room marker as the standard to which internet forum discussion should take place and I've banned people on southstander.com for overstepping that mark - if you wouldn't say it in public, face to face with another party who is a stranger to you, then it doesn't belong on a forum, and lets face it, the pub tap room can be the most lively of debating chambers and attract the most diverse of opinions - its a good measuring post.
