pertaining to the matter of trolls.....

<in my best John F. Kennedy imitation>

These are extraordinary times. And we face an extraordinary challenge. Our strength as well as our convictions have imposed upon this forum the role of leader in freedom's cause. No role in history could be more difficult or more important. We stand for freedom from trolls. That is our conviction for ourselves-that is our only commitment to others. No friend, no neutral and no adversary should think otherwise. We are not against any man or woman unless it is a troll. I am here to promote the freedom doctrine. …

I believe that this web community should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this year is out, of not responding to trolls and troll like posts.

No single forum policy in this period will be more impressive to our members, or more important to the long-term operations of this website; and none will be so difficult to accomplish.

Now this is a choice which this community must make, and I am confident that under the leadership of Neal, and the moderators, that you will consider the matter carefully.

It is a most important decision that we make as a forum. But all of you have lived through the last few threads and have seen the significance of trolling and the disruption it causes, and no one can predict with certainty what the ultimate meaning will be.

We choose to ignore trolls and do the other things, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

But feeding the trolls is more entertaining. With all the BS politics threads, I take an angry ITG anytime to follow.

Without trolls my days at work would be even more dull.

I was a bit on the light side before the army indeed.

Come, Frau Kaleun, we shall hunt these trolls for sport!

I like trolls with garlic and lemon juice over the grill.
