h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi everyone!

I was wondering, as the present infestation of a rabid troll aka Serious Question/Vegan Heart appears to be following people around from board to board, even outside Mustardland, can I suggest that no one posts a link to this place for the time being? Imagine It coming on here and following people around ...

Forgive me for seeming a little hard-hearted, but while I don't want to feed the trolls, neither do I find them such a problem as others seem to.

Part of the Mustardland cameraderie is the way we gang up against the trolls. If they weren't there, we'd have nothing to complain about.

Katie, have you seen the message from Dagesh in the Lockin?

Snork, Peet! Wanna bet?!?

But the thing is, they do chase people away, especially if they get as very threatening as last night....



I do see what you mean, but imo, as someone who puts up with a major tantrum-thrower on an almost daily basis IRL, I've learnt the hard way that the oxygen of attention is the very worst you can supply. On the other hand, I find it well-nigh impossible to sit on my hands if I happen to see a nasty personal attack going on under my nose, and to pretend as if nothing is wrong without offering any kind of support whatsoever to the person on the receiving end seems so callous and uncaring - as if it's only normal for them to be cr@pped on from a great height, and that they deserve it in some way.

I guess that's just me, though.

Hohum.

Katy

No, I'll go over there right now. Thanks, DKB!

As another who puts up with such tantrums almost daily from Teenager, I agree with Katy about the oxygen of attention. The less attention paid, the better, though I will still challenge issues I find morally abhorrent. $qxx
