There's actually a legitimate company operating under Nick The Digger: http://www.nickthedigger.co.nz/

But yes, judging from his behaviour in this thread it's indeed most likely just a troll, the name included. Unsurprisingly, he has now been moderated again: https://boardgamearena.com/report?id=39 ... r=89878417

He deserves another one for the "naggers" line.

Not like it matters. Fed or not, he will just make a new account whenever he desires.

By the moderationpolicy, the posts by OP are regarded as "small insults".

It does matter. It creates more noise.
I have noted a tendency from you and Giordano Bruno 1974 to be specifically argumentative with trolls in these forums. I would advise you to do a little research on the subject: it's counter productive, you are giving them what they want.

Please reduce the noise. Please don't feed the trolls. Please don't answer to this message and let this thread to rest.

At what point would you say that OP became a troll?
Would you say that the initially voiced grievance to be legitimate?

It would be unkind to dismiss someone's grievances out of hand.

And I do believe you are accusing me unfairly, I can't even remember the last time I've supposedly engaged with a troll.

Agree with N_Faker, he seemed to have a genuine grievance at first. It's only in subsequent posts that he showed his true colours.

And seeing how you are lecturing me on feeding trolls. I should clarify.
I do not mean that it doesn't matter if you feed trolls in general. That comment was very specific to OP, of this 'wronged victim'.
If a troll doesn't present themselves as a troll from the beginning, how should one know?

In general, it would be easier all round that if a forumite is deemed to be a troll that shouldn't be engaged with by the moderators, if just lock their threads or delete their posts so we all know where we stand. It's generally only through engagement that it becomes obvious that they are trolling. Not everyone with a grievance is a troll.

I have not been accusing or lecturing, please don't take it personnally. Sorry if my reply felt this way.

I have just noted a tendency from you to be overly argumentative in general, and by replying - while I was expressly asking you not to - you just proved my point.

You could have paused, considered the discussion at any point in this thread, and stopped replying after recognizing a pattern of unproductive exchanges. I'm just asking you to consider that next time. That's all. Other than that, thanks for the productive exchanges participating in this forum.
