I think the folks here have spoken clearly as to who the two trolls
are. Alex doesn't want to deal with the post limit and I can't blame
him. This is supposed to be a forum for adults not teenagers. Salvy is
right, the graffiti trolls are just trying to ruin FFL because they
hate the place.

Wow! Now that's a thought-stopper. Calling someone a "troll" makes
assumptions about a writer's motives that are impossible to determine.
The term troll is highly subjective, and some posts will look like
trolling to some while seeming like meaningful contributions to others.

Posting limits function as a moderator, in a sense, and are
equitable, because after all, one person's troll is another's fantasy
and who on this forum is qualified to make that decision? I like the
idea of posting limits for this forum and always did, but, of course,
certainly wouldn't want to be hall monitor myself. So, to the degree
that I check in here, I choose to live with the consequences of
"forum freedom."

Posting limits are stupid but moderation is not. The trolls would
have been booted long ago if someone weren't afraid to moderate just
a little bit. Most other group moderators do this. Rick even
suggested that Richard needs a hobby. Best policy currently is to
ignore the trolls and especially don't reply to them. Then they'll
return to the bridges they live under.

Yep. Interesting what has happened. The limits were removed.
Almost immediately, Richard and Share ushered the forum into its
evolution as a chat room - characterized as all are by a
preponderence of meaningless drivel. Gone are the limits
telling the brain to put some thought into a post, put some
thought into topics, put some thought into with who and in what
format one wanted to converse. Limits that forced a pause in
the action. Quite the statement this forum is, really.

He has been on vacation. But FFL seems to have gone mostly
to fluff lately, with a lot of short spammy twinkie brain
posts so there is not much to read here any more, no
discussions of any substance...

You are supposed to read the messages here BEFORE you post
your own comments, Ajax. I thought my replies to Bill were
right on topic, compared to the comments posted by the other
informants. YMMV. Go figure.

Barry (turq) on vacation or did he say goodbye to FFL? I
miss his posts.
