Jimbo is entitled to his opinion, but there's a fine line between playing devil's advocate and being a troll. People who like the SE are welcome here. I'm not going to say you have to sign the petition to post here, but it makes very little sense to do so, and is IMHO a trollish tendency.

Differing opinions are welcome though, they fuel the discussion which is good... IF they are done politely, jimbo you are not particularly polite IMHO, if the language is not cleaned up then I think a banning is in order.
