Thread Name: Shunning: a Cure for Trolls
Subject: RE: Shunning: a Cure for Trolls
Reading posts by ** in order to complain about them seems a bit masochistic. Just slide on past them, and leave them for those who like stuff like that.

There's a story about a seaside resident who complained about nude bathing on the beach. "But it's so far away you'd need a telescope to see them." "Young man, I have a telescope."

Maybe it'd be pleasanter without **, or preferably if ** gave up on the style of posting that people have complained about, since I gather there's another side to the person involved, who has said it's all a pose anyway (as a flasher might reasonably point out). But there'll always be someone filling this kind of role from time to time. Just not worth getting in a state over it.

At least, when it's someone with a name it's easy enough to make a detour round the posts they make, and that's something to be grateful for.
