I would like to say that, for the record, I am not "anti-ripster". Never have been, never will be.
I will admit that I created the troll poll partly for lulz, and partly because ripster's trolling of the Filco/Leopold ringing/ping issue was getting bad.
Real bad.
I do appreciate ripster's contributions to GeekHack and I believe that the site wouldn't be the same without him. Personally, I would prefer him to stay, but just not to troll so much.
\My two cents
P.S. Ripster, I realize now that the troll poll hurt your feelings. That was not my intention and I apologize for that.
