I can’t decide on a poll option, so here’s my opinion: I don’t want to see a lot more of Will_Newsome’s trolling; I think it damages the site. But just banning him feels like leaving a fascinating mystery unresolved. I want to understand Will’s motives, and his insights about simulation, and whatever scary idea he came up with. If there’s some way to talk this out in good faith, let’s try to do that first. But banning is preferable to endless obfuscated confusion.
