Even trolls are people, let them speak.

And who might these trolls be?

Even though at times I read things that annoy me, I just say so, I don't try to stop people from posting.

Too Orwellian.

What is wrong with trolls?

If you are aware of what they are doing then they have failed in their mission, so whats the problem?

I would probably be considered a troll, but I sure am not stupid

Why does everyone hack on trolls?

As far as I remember some trolls are good (at least in the tales I heard when I was young )

Just because they are in minority it doesn't mean you can hack on the whole group. You need to see to each troll as one person, not to the trolls as a group, and decide what is best to do with it.

Spare me the bleeding heart psycho-babble.

As for you Faded, since you constantly get knocked on your keester by even mildest troll, it would be almost impossible to make any forum safe for you - even one full of kindergarten kids or nuns.

If the trolls become insluting- ban them...

if not, let them exist, they liven up the forum a bit.

(a question: is Bob Dornan banned? I have not seen much of him recently?)

[but, do you realize that by stareting this thread you are trolling the trolls ]

Horsie, the Grandfather Troll himself, showed up and paid you a visit, FG. You should be basking in his presence

Yes, the Old Man was in rare form on this thread, showing those good for nothing kids how it's really done.

How ironic....
