That's often the way it is when there is abuse.  Instead of talking
about the topic at hand there is always a red herring thrown in and an
attempt is made to divert our attention to another equally as awful
practise of some sort.

I've seen it happen often, especially on another list I used to be a
member of.  Someone would bring up an issue to discuss and fairly soon
one of the trolls would divert the attention from that topic.  AND the
result was that nothing would be learned or discussed
meaningfully....mission accomplished...
