Good work, JimH.

It only takes a few adults to break the cycle.

If more people would recognize that an uncivil response (even to a
blatant troll) demeaned the responder ever more than the troller there
would be a lot fewer 200-post threads consisting primarily of
"neener-neener" in the group. Basskisser always manages to make you
upset, so avoid Basskisser and avoid getting upset. Better to be
thought of as a guy who has the strength and discipline to ignore the
bait than as a guy who gets suckered in every time.

While there may be a few political cut 'n pasters who think they're on
a mission from one version of God or another here- most of the time the
practice is engaged primarily to get other people angry and fan the
flames. None of us can control how or what somebody else is going to
post, but we can all influence the tone of the group by concentrating
on what we post or how we respond. If some of the cut 'n pasters (those
who don't think they're on a mission from God) stop getting the
response they're looking for some of them will stop the two-a-day
political trolls in the NG.

"The conservatives do it too!" or "The liberals started it!" doesn't
make political cut 'n pasting right, productive, useful, or politically
effective. People who post primarily political cut 'n paste are sending
us all a signal that they're out to destroy the NG. If we respond the
way they hope we will, (and we too often do), they win. Why let them?

(I'll be passing by the post office today, and I'll check once again
for the book).
