Okay, let me try a rephrasing. You seem to be a frequent contributor to a site associated with GNAA, which is a trolling organization that has had past run-ins with Wikipedia and other volunteer projects. Could you clarify, first, whether that's actually true or whether it's just a case of mistaken identity? If it is true, could you comment on the degree of your involvement with GNAA? In other words, do you just find this one site, not related to their other activities, interesting and have ignored the other things they're doing? Do you think they're unfairly maligned? Did you not even know who they were? More broadly, could you give your feelings on the impact of trolling, attempts to shock and offend people, and similar forms of humor on volunteer projects with a huge variety of participants? Do you think that such humor would be appropriate on, say, Debian mailing lists or IRC channels? -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
