Calling someone a troll just for saying something negative is silly.
Novell is perfect, the angel of Linux? Nothing Novell does should be
questioned? Novell can join with Microsoft and make moves that impact
the whole future of open source, and no one is allowed to discuss it?
I invite all "trolls" to sign Bruce Perens' open letter to Novell's
CEO Ron Hovsepian:
http://www.techp.org/petition/show/1
duly signed.
I however would prefer to read my news elsewhere. This forum I thought
was for technical/support related issues.
My bad.
and by the way - offhand humor there - I am considering myself a troll
- because I just read and soak in the knowledge here rather than
posting something actually relevant (if you couldn't tell LOL)
I think many people misuse the word "troll" in the sense that you mean
it above. The correct word for such activity is "lurk" or "lurker" or
"lurking".
Cheers.
