Let's face it, he's not going anywhere.
I mean, come on. Yeah, he can be annoying, but he's annoying in an earnest, wants-you-to-like-him sort of way.
At least he's not intentionally annoying like some of the trolls. He is trying to fit in, and if he doesn't always live up to your standards of wit and intelligence, well excuuuuse him.
He has cut back on his habit on making inane comments about every little thing. Yes, his comments can still be inane, but they are no longer always inane, and the frequency his posts have dropped considerably. If the trend continues, in a few months he'll be positively civilized.
For example, Nate used to be incredibly annoying, and had a great habit of saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. Over the past few months he's become actually likable and part of the woodwork around here.
Not everyone can be a laugh riot all the time, but some of Bazilla's comics in recent weeks have actually been funny.
I'm as guilty as anyone of giving him a hard time, but I know he doesn't take it seriously. I can't quite comprehend the level of venom you have for Bazilla.
Give the kid a break. Or at least some constructive criticism. Do unto others, ya know?
