Yes, I'm speaking of the troll 'Patriot' that has been making ICF an unpleasant experience for all of us. I understand that freedom of expression is believed in this site, but in my opinion that particular right needs to be reviewed when someone abuses it. Just a slight example - take 'jusarrived', he is not a fan of Tendulkar and he openly states it. In fact he was a Tendulkar hater a couple of years back. But none of us have ever had problems with him. He knew how to behave in a civilized manner. In other words, he didn't pollute this site. This troll I'm speaking of on the other hand is a twisted, bitter, top grade retard who has been polluting this site for too long now. Such a poster would have been wiped out of PP if he were a Pakistani, and I believe we need to take the same step. Enough! I urge my fellow posters to sign this petition. And MODS, for once please don't delete this thread. Wait for the responses from the other posters. Let's see what majority of the fans believe regarding this issue. P.S. None of us want that toll to agree with our views, but all of us want to see him go away from here because of the utter pollutant that he is. Mods, please let this thread live for 24 hours. We'll get a clear picture on what the majority here thinks.

Steady on. Trolls thrive on attention. Starve them of that and they'll disappear.
The better way is to flush them down the toilet, which I'm speaking of.
Besides, whatever happened to freedom of speech?
People who abuse that right don't deserve to enjoy it.

but there is a big problem, how can someone be banned like this, for it to happen, first you need to go to sleep, have a dream, like the dream, have another dream, hate the second dream, and then wake up, and first thing you see, is afridi hitting a six to andrew symonds, and then you go back to sleep. then wake up, and banned who ever you like to. this is the fair process to me.

Iam a big fan of absolute free speech and have fought pitched battles with the moderatti on this regard which is an open secret. The only thing that a poster should get banned is for abuse no matter who he is. Patriot on occasions does abuse others but he has done time for it IIRC. Now to the core matter of him being a Tendulkar Hater. Well you can deal that with reasoning, facts , figures and logic. And since this is topic where I suspect majority of the posters are on the same wavelength as Bublu a bit of unity would do no harm. But from my experience only a handfull of posters take the time to go to that extra length of standing up and saying : "hey this is wrong and this is why you are wrong" . This is the absolute fundamental essence of any modern democratic civil society. If you choose to be spectators on the foot path watching the fun most times and are now complaining that since the outcome wasnt to your expectation well you lost the right to complain the moment you decided to stand by and watch the fun hoping that it would turn out the way you would hope for. In short get down and dirty if you care for the community. Dont just shut up and watch and worse pretend that you can ignore/and or dont care.
And when I did present myself with Reasoning Facts and Figures, albeit a little harshly, cuz the guy who I was replying to is a f'ing scum bag and according to me a big troll, I got banned. Aaman Kee Aasha it is my friend !

Well, we certainly don’t appreciate members opening petitions to ask for other members to be banned. That is very unhealthy practice. If you have a problem with a specific post/thread, you always have the option of reporting it. The forum’s rules are pretty clear and we have strict guidelines as to when someone can be banned or not banned. Patriot has not crossed that line. He has point of view, with which a majority of us disagree with. But that does not mean we gang up to get rid of him. There's no true free speech, unless you tolerate some amount of 'unsavory' speech. From now on guys, please refrain from opening such threads.
