posters who are smart enough to walk that fine line just short of getting banned, but are still determined to wreak havoc and cause negativity and troll to the max where it is permitted, are really damaging IMO.

It seems as if his havoc and negativity is magnified by the existing hate a few key posters have for him (I know you two don't get along, I am not singling you out - this is a general observation). BT fights back when they attack him, and the same happens in reverse because he attacks them as well. If BT was banned for this then we would have to ban the guys he fights with too... and i think thats a mistake. Poker Bob is a great example, he keeps attacking BT and it becomes a vicious circle. I love PB, if BT went then he would take down a group of other posters who are popular and respected (I admit not everyone gets PB's humor but he is popular and respected).

we have always said that posters shouldn't get a pass because they are good in a particular forum, and i think that applies to bluffthis

This is different, his work has been important to 2+2 as a whole. Name another poster on 2+2 who fights for the industry, fights for your right to play poker, fights to change the board of directors on the PPA, etc. He isn't just important to the Legislation forum, he is important to every online poker player and 99.99999% of them don't even know who he is. You should read the Leg forum, he does great work, I can guarantee you that the PPA knows exactly who he is because he has singlehandedly forced them to change and be accountable for their actions.
