So we have a conundrum. There are several obvious trolls on FreeOnes just now. Do we ignore them, feed them, or ***** them?
Really, it's a wash. If we ignore them, they go away. Then there is no one to make fun of. We're all given a wide latitude when dealing with trolls. So if the trolls go away, we have to behave better.
If we feed them, they just troll more. The hilarity mounts, but at some point it becomes irritating beyond belief. Witness a member who may have had a name that was inspired by the events of September 11. He was fun to ***** and mock and so forth for a while, and then it was just irritating. The mods had to step in.
That leaves us to ******* them. This essentially amounts to feeding them. I admit, it's hard to not ***** some of the trolls here. However, some ***** can be good, right?
So, what are we to do? What do you recommend?
Trolls. Discuss. Carefully. This thread isn't intended to break rules. It may hopefully provide options.
