Trolls kill forums

I've succumbed and put a very deserving person on ignore. It's not someone generally accused of being a troll. Like the best of the species, they're capable of rational camouflage. Scratch the surface and it's troll all the way down.

I've done a "like" but then reflected that it would be ironic if I was that person now on "ignore" ...

I've got two or three yardsticks which make the decision easier, and the forum more pleasant to use. There's enough shit going on in the world as it is, without having to wade through the same here.

I've come close to doing it with who I think the person might be. Relentless focus on a single subject and carpet spamming the thread with social media posts? Am I getting warm?

I don't really like putting anybody on ignore, even (or should I say especially) people I seldom agree with, but am willing to make an exception for someone who doesn't post in good faith.

He doesn't strike me as a liar.
