well, there has been a flurry of activity recently...
i can only call it trolling..
some may call it other things but let's just stick to the Internet
word for it 
from wikipedia:
Trolls can be existing
members of a community that rarely post and often contribute no
useful information to the thread, but instead make argumentative
posts in an attempt to discredit another person, concentrating
almost exclusively on facts irrelevant to the point of the
conversation, with the intent of
provoking a reaction from others. The key element under
attack by a troll is known only to the troll.
what can we do? actually it's quite simple... NOTHING
Do Not Feed The
Troll
not an apathetic nothing,
not a frustrated nothing,
not a helpless nothing...
but a concerted nothing
do not reply, do not post anything about, do not even click the
topic started by the troll... in other words, do not even
acknowledge the existence of the troll..
to quote wikipedia again:
Experienced participants
in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a
troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding encourages a true troll to
continue disruptive posts hence the often-seen warning
"Please do not feed the troll".
so.. gentle readers... don't feed the troll?
thank you
