Regarding WildRanger, I think conversation with him on many topics can get rather pointless or frustrating (see the recent Guns n' Roses thread). I think some of his questions are rather obtuse. And so I understand why people give him a hard time—some of which seems to be in good fun.
But I don't really see him as, like, a bad person or a wholly bad element on this forum. Some of his threads genuinely create good discussions (some of them do not). Is he an oddball? Yes. Rude sometimes? Yes, and I think he's been appropriately admonished when that has gone too far. But I don't really see anything so terrible. My reaction to threads like this one is more in line with Elite's "Not again
" than any of the calls for banning.
