Who is to blame for turning Mudcat into a paradise for trolls and flamers?Why it's YOU, the members of Mudcat.
A troll or flamer might strike once or twice and get no response. When that happens, they move on to somewhere else. However, at Mudcat, trolls and flamers could always count on getting lots of responses from the members.
Many times, braniacs like Joe Offer would tell you not to respond and they'd go away. But did you ever listen to the braniacs? Of course not. You were incapable.
Don't blame the trolls, don't blame the flamers, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.
