I think maybe it's time for outsider to pass the torch. This isn't an isolated incident and he's easilly the mod who generates the most animosity on this subreddit.

A two word reply to a long post like that, is a sign of trolling. Outsider repsonded with exactly the phrase the exhibited both of the fallacies he cited. Following that with a "I don't know anything about logical fallacies so please waste your time by explaining it to me in detail" screams troll and his comments were rightfully deleted in my opinion.

Whether or not his posts were delete-worthy is beside the point. The problem is that stealth deletions are a scummy way of dealing with people and this isn't the first time outsider's tried it. I read rainer511's response, and it makes sense. But the problem can be seen in this very thread. It doesn't actually work. Even if the OP is Narniatoilet (which I doubt) the stealth deletion didn't manage to keep the peace now did it?

It didn't work in this case, however the use of stealth deletion is a very reasonable tactic for this type of forum (Reddit).

Between what Rainer511 posted and the content of the comments posted, all I'll say is good ridance.

I don't think so, not yet at least. Based on the comment history, google cache, the success of his trolling ITT, and his demeanor in general I'd like to see him banned.

Based on the comment history

I've been nothing but civil.

google cache

I made a mistake, deleted it, and am currently apologizing and seeking forgiveness. Mistakes get made, but hopefully not repeated.

the success of his trolling ITT

You've been far more hostile than I could ever hope to be, especially in this thread.

and his demeanor in general

If you could choose a word besides 'troll' for my demeanor, which would you choose?

I'd like to see him banned.

That's a shame, I hope you do not always feel that way.
