Deleting talk page comments that criticise him is "discussing it just
fine"?
See second sentence. Discussing it does not require rising to the bait when trolled (e.g.

- one debate is probably sufficient, and an admin's talk page is not
the right place for the debate when it has already been raised on the admin noticeboards by that admin.
I'm thinking the reference was to this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Bad_Jokes_and_Other...
from WT:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. Deleting Thwinchester's drivel from his user talk page is perfectly justifiable. Hacking away IvanKnight69's comments from WT:BJAODN rather than responding to them and telling him what was wrong with what he was saying is not quite as clearly the right thing to do.
