the discussion yet some members wanted to make this into so much more.
For the record, two new people posted today and got negative feedback.
It sucks we probably won't see any more posts from them.
I'm all for discussions and arguments, but something bothers me about
the trend of this group. Actually, it isn't a trend - we've always
been sensitive and defensive.
>From Wikipedia... Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous
content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll
in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the
community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person
develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause
chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet
culture: "Do not feed the trolls."
Sadly, this is becoming more frequent here. I feel it hinders our
growth, but got flamed for eluding to that yesterday.
