I met Tom in person this year at Fuse-In and found him quite charming, but his online presence is pretty unpleasant to be honest. He's often abusive and responds in a completely inappropriate way to other users. I find this upsetting, even though I haven't as yet been the target of his wrath I'm not proposing that Tom should be removed, that's not what communities are for imo, but I think that his posts are much more detrimental to the rest of this community than people making (admittedly quite boring) contributions to the OT debate. My point is that if you're going to let the board self-moderate Tom's posts, then the OT post debate should also be left alone.
