There is another shill at la-imc. His goal is to discredit the Left and waste bandwidth.

This shill's method is to co-opt the nicknames of other posters and post ridiculous messages on the board. His posts, ostensibly attempting to discredit conservative posters, do nothing of the sort; indeed, he makes himself and therefore the Left look foolish. No one believes the faked messages; their idiocy assures that.

By posting faked message after faked message on the board, he uses up bandwidth and raises operating costs for the collective.

Ban him? While ultimately that is the decision of the collective, I would say no; even shills have the right to freedom of expression. Perhaps a login process to validate posters' names? Fine by me.

But let the collective be aware: the faker's making you look bad. And he's costing you money.
