Is it OK to call another forum member a troll after they've been permabanned for trolling?

Now this is a hard one.

Great point though, best thing to do is try and spot a troll and leave it well alone.

well, at that point they would no longer be a forum member.... so sure

Not only that, but you've been proven right if they were banned for TROLLING.

Very nice post :)

But... I do not agree with the sarcastic thread (the one you linked). Not saying he was not making this up but there is a possibility he could actually had a very bad experience (it happens :)) and I doubt it is the reason why he gets banned.

If you follow that logic, this thread is even more sarcastic : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153027&page=1 and this guy did not get perma-banned, don't you agree?

He didn't get perma-banned for that thread, he didn't even get moderated.

One of them is being sarcastic about an article and sales numbers, the other was just a poorly constructed attack on a console itself. I wouldn't even call it sarcasm.
