As unfortunate as it is, this will not be our last dealings with a troll on this site. Perhaps next time, we can show a little better restraint when feeding it so that it doesn't require Nick's intervention to make it go away? I'm sure Nick has better things to do than to intervene on kids fighting on his playground. As the saying goes, it takes two to fight.
TX, if you mean that we should respond less to trolling so that the troll might stop trolling, I think it is worth a shot.
Looking through the last few months of JHG posts, I think you will find that his ugliness was posted pretty willy nilly, and with a LOT of disrespect. The last troll that we had on this site that was as bad as JHG was JH, was it not? That covers years of trolling. We had a bit of trolling up to a few years ago, but other than JHG, virtually none in the last few years.
I am OK with a little fighting on this site. The near complete lack of value added to any discussion by JHG is different. |
