No, no... don't get me wrong. It's *my* mistake (and a very tactless one, I'll
admit, as I said in my previous post).
Sadly, I have just been informed that AIOE has put a ban on COLA (just
posting?). I did not file any complaint, but a friend who uses AIOE is having
a hard time using AIOE. Innocent and good posters get punished because of the
trolls. I suppose your post was prophetic in that sense. The bad behaviour of
trolls led to complaints which had it excluded (again). I was not involved in
this, but perhaps the lesson to learn here is that trolls should not be fed
(that Dr. "X" nymshifting troll was probably the cause).
