I feel the same. Whether or not he listens to anything anyone comments at him is irrelevant. Someone has to call him on his bullshit for the benefit of the rest of the community. That may not always or ever be me but I'd at least like to keep track of the shit he's spewing.

He muted me for a pretty tame comment that disagreed with him on feminism. I wouldn't be surprised if he does that with others. The end result is that his posts can only be commented on by those who don't piss him off so he's pretty much creating an actual echo-chamber/circlejerk for himself and his followers on the site.

He is turning out to being a great study on the possible negative effects and potential abuses of this site's moderation system.

I guess the hope is still that randomuserjoe who comes along and sees the comments will stop to think and perhaps realize that maybe userwhoshallnotbenamed is wrong and toxic to the community. Clearly nothing said to userwhoshallnotbenamed has or will have an effect.

Nah, they either stroll in and find their shoes all shitted up by his sludge and either flee, or realize they've found yet another sweet place where they're not the problem, it's the people asking why nobody cares enough to clean up who get shouted at.
