When trolls and flamers are active, thou shalt resist the temptation to respond to them,
even though thou thinkest thy response is ultimately clever.

They are very active now. Some of their posts may seem almost logical - but as a whole, they're poison. Time to shut 'em down, folks. This means that if we're going to end the current streak of flaming/trolling, we have to refuse to respond to them in any way. This includes posting responses of any sort in flame threads. It also includes starting "answer" threads and resurrecting old threads that may have something to do with the flames. I know it's a difficult thing to get people to do, but the discipline of silence is the most effective tool against flaming and trolls.
