The whole caveat discussion of trolling came about with my response to Jim on his surprise at e space being revealed as a troll. This kind of behavior can catch us by surprise, mostly, I think, because not many of us read every post in the group and don't bother following some of the more contentious discussions. Anyone who has been reminded that trolling behavior is not allowed in the group, self corrected, and subsequently found a harmony with the group discussions couldn't actually be a troll, because reminders, warnings and moderating don't stop them in the long run. I think it important here, that no one take offense. But it is important that we understand the behavior and what it means to group dynamic, why it is important for each of us to respond effectively to the behavior, and for the moderators to eliminate it.
