The only reason anyone could make it onto my thread ban list is if they are either a troll, or they are a terrible human being.

Once you've been a member for some considerable time here you can anticipate the reaction of the forum trolls to any given topic. Sometimes you might want to investigate a topic with other reasonable members and so you post your ban to eliminate the dross from your thread
