ALL Americans are lazy, and Obama's going to learn that the hard way.

As much as I hate to defend that jerk off, I have to say "So what?"
I would be banned if I got demerited for every epic blanket statement like "Americans are all stupid."
He's trolling alright, but not with that part of the statement.

As Ardchoille's post addressed (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14190313&postcount=79), it's classic trolling.
If your similar posts were reported, you'd have received the same warning ... tempered by the fact that the poster in question has received a lot of prior warnings for the same sort of behavior.

Plus ... I dunno if Kat works the same way, but when something's been happening throughout the thread, I tend to grab the most recent post that exemplifies the rulebreaking intent.

Given that it was a perfect example of trolling as defined in the One Stop Rules Shop, I grabbed that one.
