I have been informed that the account has been locked. That was a pretty rapid fire response to my report of the (alleged) troll, and for that, I am grateful to the administrators and fellow veterans of RallyPoint.

Trolls are in the eyes of the beholder. I have three people on "block" because they use the trolling technique to disrupt the political sides that may be involved in legitimate debates. When one fires down range, it will probably be returned. Good discussions based on fact and none of the name calling and insults should have a place here. I left another military social site due to the nastiness and the over reaching Moderators. This is a good one and I hope those that are upset use the block when serious infractions occur. Don't like it, but if not you become one of them.

Let's not draw a moral equivalence here or claim that there are no standards. This is not an eye-of-the-beholder situation. This site is used by veterans to connect with each other for social, as well as business purposes. There should be a level of candor and an expectation that people are who they say they are. When someone as flagrantly and publicly disrespectful of the military, even if they served, tries to gain access to this site for the purpose of slamming us elsewhere, it should be halted, and it thankfully was. Many of us have our current duty stations or other jobs listed on this site, which could be exploited to our detriment. I'm trying to watch your 6. Blocking only resolves the issue for me, but I'm not going to turn my back on a community of battle buddies. It seems that the other responders and the admin agree with me.

He claims to have served in the Marines from 1990-1996, with deployment to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/288691-cpl-adrian-parks His profile has no information listed under any recent activity tabs. Most importantly, he is a FOUNDER and ADMINISTRATOR of the Facebook group, "The Troops are Parasitic Tools". https://www.facebook.com/groups/ [login to see] 14173/admins How can we expunge such trash from OUR site, a web page of patriotic veterans who remembered their Oaths, Creeds, and values? I am certain he is trolling RallyPoint.

Sir, other than no info listed under any recent activity tabs, is there any other evidence that can be shown to prove he is a troll and faker?

SSG Livingston, I found his profile rather scarce compared to most. There are also no hits when I search for "Parks Inc." in Picayune, MS. I don't know if it's cyber stolen valor or not, but I think his Facebook antics are evidence enough that his purpose here is nefarious. Thank, you COL Lenertz, I had done just that. :)
