Right. I agree. But since the new year the tone has changed and
people, including you, have been much more respectful to each other. So,
a clean slate has been established. Who is going to be the one to mess
it up first?



That's easy, the ones who acknowledge, answer, and repost the trolls

As long as we respond to the troll posts, they will continue. If we all
refused to answer but only decent posts, made with proper intent, the
appeal would be gone for the trolls and the group would be right back
the way it was a couple weeks ago, overnight....

It only takes one to say "well, he isn't trolling me so it's ok", and it
all falls apart... but you know all that



No, that's not the answer nor the problem.

You are trying to establish who should respond to whom and if one of the
people involved happens to be disagreeable with you it's not ok
according to your "rules".

Harry and I have demonstrated that you can communicate and often
disagree without being disrespectful. You seem to feel that I therefore
am enabling any problems you may have with communicating with him. I
don't think it's your call to decide who can respond to who.
Apparently you think otherwise.
