Thread Name: Just once (I'd like to see a troll ignored)
Subject: RE: Just once........
Sorry Spaw, but that's horseshit.

It would be a pretty rotten place if every time someone titled 'guest' asked a question we all got defensive. We are not great, we are not all inclusive, and we certainly have the option of reading each post as if it were a genuine request for help. I saw absolutely nothing in Karen's requests that would lead me to believe trolling, maybe I'm an asshole, but the responses were MUCH worse than the intial question. If I didn't know some people as well as I do, I'd think we were all a bunch of sorry bastards.

Answer the requests truthfully, and maybe your troll will get the idea you are a stupid sonofabitch and leave, but a bunch of folks standing around fanning flames is no way to put out a fire.
