I don't either.

People were either civil in their communications or they weren't. If they weren't, they were blocked. To the best of my knowledge, their "troll" status was not considered, only their behavior. Because troll behavior is often uncivil, they were blocked from posting very quickly.

Calling someone a troll is an exercise in characterology. Is a troll what they are, or is it what they do? Can a troll remain civil on a website that they have an affinity for and whose tenets agree with their own? Are they still a troll?

Posting activity on Psycho-Babble at this time is probably light enough that Dr. Bob can handle the volume and reestablish more of a presence as a moderator. I think it is important for him to set limits by example and comment on moderation standards before taking on deputies.
