This might work. It is a good idea, but still, I say might, because I think
the main problem is that people should learn not to react to troll
messages.
Sure, this is a very easy going mailing list, and because of that, I think,
we all are especially shocked by the occasional troll/fight. But best way
to deal with it, is ignoring such people. I know how hard that is. I have
been ignoring Kristen from the time she stole my pages, and was very rude
to me and other people who told her that was not OK to do. I didn't want to
have anything to do with her anymore. It has been hard sometimes, not to
react to her offending mails, or whenever she was up to doing something
stupid again. If you really do want to react, please don't send a reply to
the list, but keep your anger, irritation, etc in private.
By all reacting to the list, we are only ruining our own list! And I really
think it is a shame of this wonderful list!
So PLEASE ignore future trolls, whatever they send! Reacting to them just
makes you and other people angry, and the troll gets his/her laugh!
Karin.
