That wasn't the problem anyway. If someone is consistently bothering people and acting childish and trollish, asking them to perhaps tone it down a little is not 'objecting to their sexual practices' it's objecting to their penchant for trying to push people's buttons because they apparently enjoy the disruption. If you see worse, report it, heck, we even have a new infractions system that gives you more options for addressing it yourself.
the problem is people rising to it. If nobody appeared to give a shit, Albert would get bored and either leave or become a less inflammatory member. Take away the self-righteous shit-for-brains who take this place far too seriously and there's not really anybody to get a rise out of.

In response to the whole Tam thing:
Why should anyone have to pussyfoot around things because they might hit a nerve with some member of an internet forum.
No-one else gets so pissy about people mentioning stuff that fucked them up or caused them to have issues.
It's not like people on here haven't said things that hit nerves with me, but I i don't feel that it justifies me summoning a shit-storm of "I object that someone who doesn't know me and never will said something that hit a nerve because it relates to something unpleasant in my personal life"

Now if the idea of skullfucking doesn't sit so well in your head, so be it. But it's the internet, there's a hell of a lot of stuff worse than that. I'm sure there are a lot of things that would hit nerves deeper than someone's personal note on here.
