The inane questions this guy is asking and the way he responds to them seem a shade on the side of trolling and flamebait,

No, it's not illegal, but I addressed it nonetheless.

FWIW, despite your warning, Urantia II has continued in the same vein. Almost every, if not every, post uses the same hostile style.

Here are just a few examples (which are not necessarily the worst cases from 32 pages of stuff):

Urantia II is also cutting and pasting page after page of stuff from another site. In fact, Urantia II is now re pasting stuff that was copied earlier.

I am not clear whether any of this crosses over into flaming or trolling. In context, Urantia II repeats the same things over and over, refuses to answer points, and simply abuses others' arguments. Its 32 pages of nonsense that is deliberately irritating. It is, unfortunately, inciting others to flame when then get frustrated (which is wrong, but is what trolls cause). The thread is getting out of hand.

(And Urantia II is doing the same in other threads, but this is the most consistent.)

Anyway, your consideration is appreciated.
