First off, I will say that I have always appreciated your posts on this forum. You have good, largely unbiased insight into topics such as provincial and federal politics, LNG, and several other industries around BC and Canada. I also appreciate your insight into the current provincial government's point of view on road building. For example, you've posted a number of studies and schematics that I had never seen before, such as the one prepared by Delcan, which essentially has been followed to-the-letter for over a decade now.
On the urban front, I have enjoyed the insight provided by SFUVancouver over the years, including for many years prior to my becoming a member on this forum. I believe that there are few others, SSP/SSC-wide, with a better understanding of modern city-building and the general urban theme prevelent here. Of course, I don't agree with all of his opinions, but I think he is the furthest thing from a "troll" on a website like this.
I have to admit, I was surprised to see him say that, which leads me to believe it was something you said. Personally, I've found some of your posts the last couple weeks a bit odd. You're writing style seems to have developed a sort of hickish accent (for lack of a better word) that comes across as extremely condescending. Especially given that you're typing, not speaking. IIRC, you've always written "normally", so it feels like you're doing it intentionally to incite some sort of reaction. Not saying that you're trying to, just that it seems like it.
Same thing goes for hipster duck - while I agree that the drawbridge idea is silly, I would never characterize him as a troll. His posts to date prove that. You've been giving the impression over the last few weeks that anyone who doesn't agree with you (or the BC government's position) is a "loony-left enviro nut" or a troll. Step back, they just see things differently from you. Take a cue from Metro-One. He was very critical of the drawbridge post. But he wasn't looking for him to be kicked off the site for it.
Feel free to contact Kevin from Texas, the local Van moderators, even Dylan Leblanc or Mike K about SFUVancouver and hipster duck. I suspect you won't be receiving the response you expect when you do.
Anyways, like I said, I appreciate everything that you've contributed to forum. Just giving you a friendly kick in the butt because your posts of late have been a little bit much.

x 1 million. Most hilarious thing that I have ever read on SSP in 12 years. Concurrently, this image came to my mind:
