i personally had no issues with exarch directly, so the following comment is in general to situation like these and nothing personal against him. any response whtr positive or negative is still a response, the best way to avoid feeding trolls is complete neglect. As long as he doesnt break any obvious rules neither mods nor admin can ban him which would make them look like autocrats. Imagine the situation that no one ever posted a reply to this topic which was obvious to trigger the flame wars. Save your own time and effort and dont play a trolls game. Just let him be and ignore him even if he tries his level best to provoke you. and neglect kills every troll 100% effective and back on exarch, he seemed like a cool guy but lost some grounds here because of some slip of tounge and ending up with his foot in his mouth. This happens to every body and they apologize and move on. For some it takes a loooong time to realize it, buit in long run he will fit right in i guess....i hope. At least after we all meet in person during some meet& greet things will be so much different. Its hard to judge people over the net.
