You're missing a critical fact here.
RBJ knows what he's talking about.
CCCToad doesn't.
I'm not overlooking it. I would even tentatively* agree with that. But this doesn't really alter my point. Perhaps I'm overstating the pitchfork-waving, but I did seem to see people implying that CCCToad should be banned because of his (repeatedly) posting his (ill-thought) opinions. And that doesn't seem like a very open-discussion kind of thing to say. Isn't there a saying ... something like, "The measure of a society is how it treats its least-desirable members"?
I do think that CCCToad would do well to withhold his thoughts sometimes. And I disagree with many of his notions (sometimes vehemently). But other than his—um—questionable political/economic views (or, rather, his evidently dubious understanding of them), and his unfortunate penchant for broadcasting these, he doesn't strike me as that bad of guy. I don't see any malice, except for maybe the banter exchanged between him and R.B.J.
*Tentatively, because I don't know nearly enough about economics to ascertain whether or not R.B.J. is correct, but his economic theories certainly sound reasonable to me and he appears to have a pretty solid grasp on things.

Here's the thing. CCCToad needs to be banned because A) he repeatedly posts his bullshit despite being asked, with varying levels of politeness, not to; B) has openly admitted he's trolling, then tries to turn around and expects us to take the shit he says seriously; C) RBJ isn't his only target, he's trolled other people he doesn't like out of nowhere, completely unrelated to the main topic at hand, for no reason other than he's a childish ninny; D) he's expressed some extremely backwards views (i.e. social issues); E) when faced with an overwhelming tide of disapproval he goes LOL THAT WAS MY ~*INTERNET PERSONA*~ GUYS; F) he hates queers.
He's not contributing anything useful and unlike Koki he's not funny either.

;C) RBJ isn't his only target, he's trolled other people he doesn't like out of nowhere, .
In my defense you've usually started it first.

...so am I the only one who chuckled at "TTLG" and "intelligent discussion" being in the same sentence?

In short, I enjoy seeing people nerdrage because its kind of funny and pathetic when somebody is such a douche that they have no tolerance for dissent.
You clearly have too much free time. Get a job.

Im not defending CCCToad here, but I fucking hate the "if you do x you have too much free time" rationale. Yeah I know it's only meant half-seriously, but even so, it's monumentally retarded. Primarily because it comes from a video game message board. "If you play video games and argue about them on an line message board...."
