thread. It has never been as bad. And the local yocals still respond to
the trolls, over and over again. Did you see Davoud's troll bait on
Windows vs. Mac? The people who have left are the ones who contributed
the most. They all got tired and went to the private groups on Yahoo or
CloudyNights. This was a much better place in the mid to late 90's.
Oriel is right. The Pledge is just a group hug, a big circle jerk.

So if everyone ignored oriel, Davoud and the rest when they
troll?

We lost a lot of good contributors. But if we reduce the s/n
ratio we may not lose any more. We might even get some back.
But if we keep up long responses to trolls...
