Actually it's the Fate-Alexandru Rule.  Raz sometimes says silly shit, but so do a lot of people.  I have never even considered adding Raz to Teh Rule(TM). 
Alexandru's trolls are amusing.  Raz's trolls are painfully unfunny and dumb, much like Fate's.  Raz isn't trolling all of the time, unlike Fate.  Still, he is trolling often enough that the rule applies unless one is specifically responding to a humorous or insightful comment (which his troll about Berkut "beating the racism drum" was not).

If Alexandru's trolls are amusing, then they're not amusing for the reason he might think they are. :)  I also don't think Raz trolls all that often, recognizing that "often" is a relative term.  I think all of us troll sometimes--I know I do.

With Fate though (and we seem to be in agreement 100% on him), I feel like reading his posts is similar to conversing with my dad about politics.  My dad is ultra-right wing and basically parrots Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc.  He is incapable of having intelligent discourse about politics, because all he does is repeat catch phrases and buzz words, and the second you try to question him he gets deeply offended and walks out of the room or says "ok, I'm an idiot" and his feelings get all hurt.

Fate actually seems ok in non-political threads, but as soon as thread comes up that is about religion, race, politics, etc. Fate becomes robotically predictable and an annoyance, like my dad does in these conversations.

Alex's "trolls" are amusing because they are not really trolls, IMO.  I think he believes what he is saying.  I think that this is also true of lettuce.  I don't believe this about Raz or Fate.  They are saying things they don't believe because they are seeking to stir up some shit.

Everyone trolls, even JR.  No-one except Fate trolls as much as Raz, though.

You do ignore Fate, well kinda. I was just fishing for a reason you might want to extend the same treatment to Raz, that's all.
I ignore trolls, that is true.  But that is ignoring posts, not posters.

I don't ignore Raz, I ignore his trolls, and try to encourage others to do so as well.

The "grumbler is so old he was a _____ at the battle of _____" meme is funny.  It doesn't bother me a bit (just like the "tackling" meme shouldn't bother Marti) . Some people run memes into the ground, but that also doesn't bother me.

Oh, and for the record--since I don't feel like addressing every post in this thread--the recent phenomenons of teabaggers and right wing nuts are all about racism and sore losing.

So they're 50% right in your book, then?

Even if that is the case, his spouting of gays should die over and over again is tiresome. And he certainly posts them to get a negative reaction.

Grumbler was there when Cyrus took Babylon. Grumbler was there when Aeitus faced Attila at Chalons. Centurion Grumbler tripped Jesus on the way to the crucifixion.

Wouldn't space have been dense enough immediately after the big bang for sound to travel through it?

Berkut knew what he was doing bring up Reverend Wright back in 1998.  It annoyed the shit out of me then.  I think I have the right to use it against him now.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
