I really don't read the vast majority of threads, and I didn't see the post
you're referring to, but I have on several occasions shown my disapproval
of impersonators, and sock puppeteers alike.  Not recently, mind you, as I
just don't spend that much time here anymore.

The same thing can be said, however, for Linux advocates failing to express
disagreement with the more rabid Linux zealots, like 7.  And it took a huge
fuss not too long ago to get many of the Linux advocates to admit that rex
is full of it most of the time.

The fact of the matter is, I don't feed trolls.  I simply ignore them.
Something that most COLA readers should do, and they would go away.  If
they didn't get such great responses, they wouldn't do it.
