As opposed to the people who often responded with posts that consisted entirely of "You're a Trump ballwasher". And they made it very clear, they weren't talking about golf balls (even though that gif would show up every so often).
Duffy had a point of view and expressed it. Many people misrepresented it, and attacked him for it. He may have fought back with strong attacks, but I don't really remember him attacking anyone out of the blue, usually only after being attacked himself.
Sure, there are other people who also only post to stir the pot, or to toss in some partisan insults. I'm not arguing that Duffy or Windy should be banned more or less than anyone else. Just expressing puzzlement over the degree of consternation some people seem to be feeling.
Duffy may have had a view point, or he may have been trolling, or both. His best trick was posting for pages and pages espousing a point of view, and then claiming that wasn't what he meant at all, and everyone else was too stupid to understand his satire/game. It was really kind of like a person who says something really offensive, and then realizes no one else agrees with him, so he tries to claim it was a joke that no one else was smart enough to get.
Again, that's fine, and I'm not arguing he did or didn't deserve a ban. It's just weird to me that there are a couple of threads still going on lamenting his and Windy's departures.
