Great Idea Bob! Like I said in an email to you about it "being your job"...I personally ignore who I want and where I want if I feel ANY kind of abuse or act of 'choice' among another poster. In ALL due respect, AND proper civility, I've had enough rejection, and emotional abuse in my life, and I'll be darned if I will allow ANYONE to continue that, especially on the internet, 'troll' or not.
Again, *I* personally just ignore 'them' when I can expend so much more productive energy on more positive things...
>>>Maybe I should add something to the FAQ?Yeah!!:-) How about just what you say here? OR
perhaps something like this:
(and you can copy the link per the article)Give the link, and say perhaps something like this:
FAQ: 'Internet Trolls' (or insert YOUR choosing name):
(in YOUR wording, of course)
"One source of information about this issue is at: http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm
It is in fact, always an option just to ignore a post that you feel disruptive, that bothers you, makes you feel usafe,(insert any other of your words/feelings,etc. here), I will oversee the posting and will do what I feel necessary to keep my board in 'tact'(maybe another term?). It is of course nice to be able to express your concern, too, therefore, if you do, please keep in mind issues regarding civility in your post(s). This (my) board/forum indeed includes many different
points of view, but sometimes discussions just lead to discord and it may be best just not to respond."Something to that effect...
What do you think?
