Although it certainly played on a double reference to the KKK, there was no mens rea in terms of being offensive on the part of my client, an esteemed member of these boards with nary a blot on his record.

So ruled. Case dismissed. Your client leaves this court without a stain on his character (though with a spot of spam on his tie).

As for the rest, Hairless Kitten, the examples you give appear to me to be posts or threads stating topics which are legitimate subjects for debate on this forum. You may not agree with them, but they do not display the malice and inability to accept opposition that is characteristic of trolls and flamers.

Don't try to pretend that it was given for "a mild joke", and don't try to distract attention from your fault by accusing others. It doesn't work. If you break the rules, you pay the price.
