Several people, including yours truly, have tried to get it
back on track but some folks still want to feed the troll, the
same troll that lights down in a NG until people stop
replying, then he quickly tires and moves on. Just plonk the
fool and move on with your life, it'll help everyone, even the
mentally ill person in question.

I am in agreement with Nathan and Kate. Ignore trolls and they vanish.
They have no power if no one acknowledges them.

I like to call this the "Eeyore Effect". Trolls like to make others
feel small, especially if they're smaller than the target, anyway.
That makes the troll look big --he thinks.

Bill is admittedly controversial. But there is more admiration than
scorn; he has much knowledge that he is always willing to share, and he
has experience that few understand. And I admire his restraint. It
has been said that the greatest quality a leader can demonstrate is the
ability to ignore hatred. This is here for all to see.

I don't mind trolls being miserable by themself. But if they insist on
------ing their anger publically, it is wise to follow Bill's example.

Bret, this was sarcasm... right?

Bill has dragged these anonymous anarchists in here with him from the other
groups.

They didn't start here.

Just what makes you so goddamn proud of pissing off people like this and
then having them follow you from group to group posting their ilk and
annoying everyone in all of the groups involved?

Honestly Bill, you might try considering the consequences of your actions.
Eventually even those that respect your knowledge and sense of humor may
even turn the other way because of your 'fan club'.
People have a low tolerance for --------, and that's what this is. I know
that I am certainly sick to death of opening the group to see all of the
posts about your supposed affection for barnyard animals.

I suppose that this being the case I could leave, but unlike some people I
am not normally one to be chased off by undesirables, I like to be the one
to do the chasing.

So, how about you try doing whatever it is you have to do to get these guys
to leave you alone? Next time don't antagonize them.
This all falls back on YOUR shoulders, you have to be the one to deal with
it.
It's time for you to clean up the mess that you tracked into the house Bill.

Damn kids, dress them all up, wash behind their ears and they STILL
embarrass you in front of rich Aunt Tillie.
