Given the fairly uniform negative reaction to your posts, judging by your 30-day karma, you may want to consider looking for a forum where you will be better appreciated.
I haven't been following his recent posts closely, although those I've noticed which were downvoted mostly seemed deserving of it, but I will note that although his drop in karma has been precipitous, it's only recently reached zero. He earned at least a couple hundred karma before blowing it all.
You accused Eliezer of committing the noncentral fallacy, you did not demonstrate that he committed it.
Eliezer posited a categorization of "trolls" defined by the practice of deliberately pissing people off on the internet, of which people who incite others to commit suicide are an extreme example. If this is the uniting quality of "trolls," then it's not unreasonable to conclude that we don't want any of them in the community, not just the more extreme examples.
Not all diseases will kill you or make you wish you were dead, so it may seem "unfair" to group ones that will with ones that merely, say, make your feet itchy, but that doesn't mean it's unreasonable to prefer to have no diseases.
