Thread Name: Shunning: a Cure for Trolls
Subject: RE: Shunning: a Cure for Trolls
I am ao not going to ditch a thread because somebody posts to it. I've had to work with people I didn't like, but could still talk to them and still do my job. There's usually some common ground here too. If you don't want to deal with 'fuck you' posts, then don't, don't answer them, but don't write them either. Most importantly, try to figure out why you care and learn not to.

I haven't figured out why anyone gives a shit anyway. Look: "Jeri...asshole...bitch...used tampon...menopause...up the ass." They're just words, and they don't mean much. Especially not when they repeat frequently. I think Fred Miller said it best, but I don't know where his post is. Something like soft-handed people being politeley obscene. The polite and specific obscenity bothers me more than a few generic insults, and there's far more of it here.

Go have a hotdog. Put ketchup on it and laugh maniacally. You'll feel better.
