"I go with the ignore them comment.

They feed on argument."
Surely this section of the forum is dedicated to argument? it is a discussion section......the current mods are to blame by labelling every point of view with which they disagree.....as flaming or trolling...... especially concerning political matters.

A troll is someone who does not care about the SUBJECT under discussion, but simply wants to promote anger in his/her victim.

There are few real trolls here, but there were many abusive and vituperative people......who were allowed to practise their abuse until the management sorted matters out.
