As an aside, I find gloating to be almost as unattractive as idiot trolling.
To some extents bro, you are quite right.
It could be perceived as mocking a downed enemy and that is both ungracious and unseemly.
But I believe the context of this is important.
Teh_Troll started out harmless enough, just part of the Vault. Strong views on some things, arguing his point - all cool.
Then he got bored and started to become much more arrogant. Parachuting into threads just to say dick, cum, mother, play the game at seemingly random points. I'm sure it was funny to some for a bit, but even they grew tired of it.
At this point, he became as popular as HueHueHue and Syphyllis.
I have rarely seen the WHOLE vault rise up and put someone down.
Once MattyCordoBoy piles on looking to gain some VaultCred, then you know your goose is cooked.
We spend most of our time quibbling over all sorts of stuff in two or three camps. There is healthy debate - Teh_Troll did not bring this in his latter days.
There was no Teh_Troll camp because he was being a stupid, juvenile ass.
Teh_Troll sock account is gone. The person behind it (who is a Vaultie, but only in the last year or so) will be back. Teh_Troll account had become such a pariah, it had to be shut down. The person probably already has another sock prepped.
