Great example of why “trolling” should not be against the rules. It’s way too subjective and ends up getting abused nine times out of ten. Most people banned for trolling are just being kinda rude or flippant, particularly when it has a political slant the mod doesn’t like.

So in practice these rules are almost always just a cudgel to ban the mod’s political adversaries.
