I honestly don't. He seems like he makes genuine efforts to talk the guy off the ledge and bring him into the discussion. These attempts aren't one offs either, and he does it in a way that also seems to try and coach out the bad acts. It's likely an exercise in futility but I have to both respect the effort and approach.

Most people treat tolerance the way most people treat free speech...they argue for it when it's for people they agree with. Pete seems to be doing it with somebody nobody is on the side of and that is admirable, even if likely fruitless. I know I'm not offering the guy an olive branch

yeah I get what you're saying, I don't see it but it's one way to look at it. free speech is definitely at the centre of all this, since the trolling has mostly been about mocking people for discussing non-hockey related subjects in this thread

This isn't a free speech thing, that's not my point. I'm also not arguing anything in favour of trying to bring that person and their 32 alts into the discussion. Simply my point is that Pete's efforts are noticeable and admirable even if almost certainly fruitless

Pete only does that because he can't place a single word at home when his wife is around, HB is now his only way to communicate at night.

Why do you think you hear about Jesus as a baby and then not again until he was an adult? He went out to preach to get a break from Mary Magdalene's nagging. Facts

we tried many times to talk hockey with the guy, so we've been there. That's not why he's here at all.

I don't disagree in the slightest. Simply that Pete's efforts, knowing there isn't anything to come from them, are still admirable

I'm not the one calling Mary a prostitute or preventing women from reaching the highest position in their religion. That's the church
