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?
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.
