"Troll," "fascist," "hate," "racist," and even a word as basic as "woman" are all suffering from this treatment these days, among others.
    ...........still literally doesn't answer the question.

    Thats....silly
    The only reason Aveyond would get himself Suspended or Banned is his own doing. Looking at how he words his posts, I have extreme doubt he would ever say anything that would get himself in trouble, much less anybody could get him to. If he is able to skirt around and ignore questions...heck outright block and hide questions (if that what the ignore button really does) nobody is gonna make him do anything.

    I'll defer to you on this with regard to Aveyond, but other people may not have recognized his cleverness in this regard.

    However, I respectfully submit that trying to provoke people into getting themselves banned is a tactic that sometimes works, and some of the posters in this forum seem to have nothing better to do with their time and 20-post daily limit.
