111. This happens everywhere. Trolls eventually learn where the line is and how to tiptoe up to it.
I've dealt with this as a moderator on other forums, and a troll that learns exactly where the letter of the law draws the line quickly recalls the behavior of a 7-year-old; tiptoeing up to a line, putting a pinkie toe over it, and running away giggling at how clever they are.

I've only ever had to deal with it from individuals myself, so I can just imagine the fun time the DU moderators are having dealing with an entire contingent of such people showing up to threads, unreccing them because someone dared to offer criticism (constructive or not) of Obama, and occasionally posting what they think are immensely witty quips regarding ponies.
