Do you think the policy clearly states your point? Before this, you were quoting an unwritten rule. I don't think there would be a problem if this was written -

The more a user reacts, the more the troll will continue what they are doing." Bullet has quoted a part of the policy page but he changed it to confirm his point. The text in bold is what's not written on the page -

Discussion of the troll is not necessary. If you want to discuss ban lengths, then do so in private with an administrator.''' I think we can all agree that this rule is at the very least, not clearly written? If it's not clearly written but it's still written, then we write it down then just like every other rule. To oppose the writing of the rule but allow all the others would be ludicrous.
