We're being played by the trolls; don't feed them.

They want to divide us; but we need to SHOW we are on to them.

The divisive threads are so obvious--just alert.

Don't feed 'em, lock 'em down--the latex allergies are beginning; let's take the wind out of their sorry ass sails...

4. We can start by banning people who suggest we become more RW
I really can't see a place for that here anymore. I hope Skinner see's it that way soon.

8. Yeah, works great if there's a mod around.
If there aren't, you've got to fight the trolls the old fashioned way.

9. It's about time-he's was sooo obvious
I could smell him from the beginning.

We're going to see alot of those fly below the radar w/1000 posts types.

3. Some of those trolls have a hefty post-count..hundreds at least
I have been away for a while, but I must say that I cannot recognize the place anymore.

What has happened here?

6. I think a forum title "acrimony" only invites this
Couldn't it be called "Spirited debate" instead?

11. I was wondering if I was being too sensitive.
Sorry, I fed them. Thanks for the voice of sanity.

13. While it's fascinating to watch the occasional troll-hunt...
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 10:45 PM by AZCat
It's a little depressing to see the entire first page of a forum filled with trollish threads. Perhaps a little house-cleaning is in order.



On Edit: Ahh, I see that Skinner is clarifying things. Perhaps this will settle down the issue a bit.

15. Why on earth would they bother coming here now?
Is it just to make sport of us?

16. They can't right now, and if they think they are "making sport"
they are sadly mistaken.

And post counts DO COUNT.

Fucking losers, all of them.
