Agree with AJH or not, I didn't see his initial post in that thread as trolling at all. On the contrary, I found it an interesting take. I don't agree with all of it for reasons that aren't germane to this discussion, but it wasn't a personal attack on anyone and didn't come across as being inflammatory for the sake of being inflammatory.
I usually find that I a) don't totally agree with him b) don't totally disagree with him and c) usually find his posts an interesting, if coarse, addition to discussions that are otherwise circle jerks.
Diamonds was a troll. AJH isn't. You don't have to like him, but he contributes more than Hurr Durr Look at Me! His posts are no more offensive than Lounsy's, and 5x more though provoking.
