They all had one purpose, to make this place as absolutely
miserable as possible. And they succeeded.

Why?

Because most of their posts were responses to folks who just can't
seem to ignore them.

What the hell is to be accomplished by telling JimH or HK what
everyone here has known for years? Nothing. All it does is give
them more opportunity to 'wallow in the muck' which they are
creating -- with a lot of help!

Jeeez. Grow the **** up!

There is one way and only one way to avoid posters you consider trolls.

======== IGNORE THEM ! ! ! ========

You must simply ignore them, and perhaps even more importantly, ignore those
who refuse to ignore them. Plonk the trolls and plonk the people who refuse
to plonk the trolls. That's all there is to it.

Personally, I find trolls to be a good source of amusement and
entertainment. I've been to a few groups where heavy handed moderation was
used and they were the driest, most boring places you can imagine.

So, if your skin is thin, plonk like crazy. Otherwise, enjoy your trolls,
they work hard to keep you on your toes.
