Should Simple be Suspended

I'd much prefer to see serious participants simply ignore trolls such as simple than to have the culprit suspended. Suspension allows the troll to claim that he has been persecuted or censored because of his faith. If a discussion is only continuing because of the persistence of a troll then it deserves to die a natural death. The thread might be resurrected at a later date when someone wants to continue a serious discussion.

Percy, your strategy will not work against a troll. The troll will fail to understand a point and continue to reiterate their error or bring up new points without resolution of the original point.Ignoring a troll after the rebuttal of their assertions is a more effective use of time and resources and does not result in frustration for serious posters. A troll does not provide an intellectual challenge for our knowledgeable and experienced posters and lurkers will appreciate the invalidity of the troll assertions and the rebuttals without monotonous repetition.
