The way you characterize monkey's behavior is very uncharitable and doesn't describe what I've seen from him at all. For instance, when you say

when trolls like Monkey step in, they do so in order to disrupt the original conversation and divert it to nonsense bickering.

and

If you notice Monkey's behavior, he will shift and dodge when needed to push and push and then pull back and state that he is only interested in getting the facts.

I've never seen monkey do any of this. What I have seen is monkey asking clarifying questions, asking for evidence, and pointing out inconsistencies, all in a good faith manner. There is a clear difference between that and trolling.

It also seems like you think there is no value to this style of posting, and if so I would disagree. Sometimes asking someone to clarify what they mean or to support a claim can add to a discussion.

Either way he is disruptive to our discussions regarding boy love and everything affecting it.

I disagree. What is disruptive is calling someone a troll, anti, not a real BL, etc. because you don't like their style of posting even when it's clear they are engaging in good faith. It's also just disrespectful.

If you want discussions on BC to be of high quality, you should be more charitable and not levy personal attacks against people like you're doing against monkey.
