Ideally this would be so, but there are always newbies and so-called 'political' people who cannot resist the temptation to defend themselves when a troll hits. Admittedly, I too took part in the first couple of flatfish discussion which hit the Linux groups (I am subscribed to about 7) this August. I quickly learned to master the 'I' shortcut in KNode.

Perhaps the trolls decided that their only way to weaken us is to waste our
time, diverting our attention from sourceforge and mutual assistance.
Unfortunately, when threads mushroom, we simply let them /win/.


A large part of the problem is that there are two types of trolls infesting this newsgroup. There are Windows-trolls, and there are Linux-trolls. They go at each other and draw some of the rest of us in. Too bad they can't stick to the advocacy groups and fight it out among themselves.
