No one is "protecting" Chris from trolls, and it isn't because "Chris has suffered enough" that we don't troll Chris. Most people these days who think they can troll Chris are often boring, unfunny, incompetent faggots who even Chris can outwit. The only exception to this was when the Idea Fags duped Chris out of thousands of dollars, but that was because they literally stole from Chris and had committed felonies doing it. Some people felt it was too cruel, but mostly it was because a crime had been committed against a mentally disabled person.
The other reason we don't troll Chris is because it's all been done before. There's never anything original. How many times can Chris be fooled into thinking he has a girlfriend and it still be funny or interesting? Pro tip: it got fucking old long ago.
And no one can fuck with Chris' life worse than Chris himself. Some of us started out as trolls or connected to trolls, but things have changed. Now we observe and document. We don't have rules against trolling Chris because "it's wrong" or some other moralfaggotry like that. We have rules against it because 99% of the time it's boring, unoriginal, unfunny, and the person attempting it is an uninspired, bumblefuck tard.
