I like you, V. You're a valuable poster and a very nice man. I appreciate your lengthy, detailed, and eloquent response. I read it all.
However, lengthy deliberation when action is called for is Nero's concert.
In regards to the Women as Heroes thread, I retaliated, I did not instigate. If I had not retaliated, would you still be deliberating?
And even if it weren't for that thread, would it change the spirit of acrimony on this board?
There's been a lot of talk about the past. What bearing does the past have on members' behavior today? Does a board of fifty trolls in the past make a board of five trolls today acceptable? It doesn't take a lot of trolls to make posting unpleasant, just a few persistent ones.
And what, exactly, does trolling behavior consist of, in the eyes of the moderators? Flaming, belittling, and badgering new members does not qualify? If not, then I don't think the moderation staff should have any qualms about the other, non-belligerent, members informing the new members of their option to put the aggressors on ignore, reassure the new members that the aggressors do not speak for the board, and encourage the new members to enjoy the forums.
