Israel Chai quotes the troll as saying:The troll thinks this will cause me a feeling of remorse.
On the contrary, I hope the troll does leave this forum because the troll is a heretic who is trying to cause the people to sin against the Torah.

It's happened a million times in a million forums, it's a pathetic tactic.
First, if now you say "oh so sorry please don't leave", he's in control. For people visiting the forum, he has tried to make it look like we're hateful. When he comes back with his new troll account, which they always do, they if we did feel bad, we'll be slower to attack him for saying Islam is the best and that he hates Judaism. Finally, missionaries get most of their converts by creating a loving and welcoming environment, so lonely and disenfranchised people are drawn into the group and their desire to belong, like a street gang. The trolls keep attacking JTF on that, because it discourages members.
How bout instead of throwing away any work you did on this election into the trash by tolerating trolls that make the forum look bad, you ban them when it's obvious they have nothing to contribute? Hmm? If any regular American came here from a video and saw the thread, you can almost guarantee he didn't stay. The purpose of this forum this election was not to support Ted Cruz, but to give a platform to a commie and to make chilul Hashem about Judaism.
You all know I didn't appreciate people jumping on me when I came here, and I know I'm a bit smarter than most, so I rationalized the lies I had grown up with, and presented them well. I do that because I don't know what's right, and it works great when you put what you know out there and let it get criticized.
Repeating the same slogans over and over again after you've been responded to is not how to learn. People that do that are trying to indoctrinate, and I felt better about turning threads into a war zone and look terrible to anyone who came here to support Cruz, because not making chilul Hashem is more important than the election. That being said, I'd have rather you ban him, ,and we could deal with him when the election is over, instead of wasting a lot of time for the people here, and guaranteeing no new members from whoever reads his garbage or the response.
I like this forum, firstly because of the information you disseminate, and secondly because you handle trolls. If the forum is infested, then I'll just come for the videos, I want to help, but talking with trolls here does not help America or Israel.
