Why is Rob allowed to post here?

[bocce ball]

But if he's just going to ruin every thread with pointless trolling, I might have to revisit that.

I think we should react to Rob when he contributes something worthwhile and just ignore everything else.

Alan is correct.

I don't see anything ban-worthy about Rob's behavior. His post volume is frequent but not excessive. Usually he makes his points concisely. His personal insults are sometimes amusing, and always harmless.

Rather than an outright ban how about just deleting the bs?

Or move to a containment thread if it's considered intolerable in the place where it was posted. But it's not desirable to completely eliminate the BS. Perhaps a warning could be added, advising people not to wear their good shoes inside the forum.
