I think this case is very interesting because of the long history of posts. To my opinion, and this is my own view, Awareness has always been polite to posters. His comments can be seen as derogatory towards our beliefs, but not towards our person.

Bilbodog was also quite polite. That was his cover for being disruptive. When pressed he resorted to niceness. I once compared him to Eddie Haskell on
Leave it to Beaver, because Eddie was unfailingly nice, too. But everyone knew something was not quite right with him, the grown-ups more than the kids.
Now, Harold isn't as bad as Bilbodog, but he does overuse the same kind of needling the Dog so deftly employed. He wouldn't cut your head off, he'd just try to kill you with 1000 wounds.
At some point the bull gets tired of the matador. The matador hopes the bull is weakened enough when he finally goes berserk. Matadors are not honorable. They are brave, in a way, but not honorable.
