I wonder what computer language you wrote it in and how you learnt that language? -- Simon Mason used to post from BP Chemicals where he works. He repeatedly said that he was wasting BP's time; and not his own time - like other posters were. After the BP AGM in April 2012 Mason suddenly stopped posting from a BP IP address. People have asked why - but he won't say :-) |

Ain't killfiles a wonderful thing! Good job, Peter otherwise you would not wind them up as much as you are doing. So why do you tell me not to 'feed the trolls'? Especially when you keep deliberately winding them up with your subject changes. Consistency and coordination is needed if we are to take this group back. Judith's continued attacks on you are disgusting, and I hope that the police will deal with that harassment soon, but it must be said that you are encouraging more than discouraging her. We have to start being smarter, more careful and more self-disciplined if we are to fend off these no-life idiots. While it is tempting to try to derail the trolls' threads and to laugh at them, I believe that this gives us short-term satisfaction at the expense of the long-term stability of uk.rec.cycling. Unfortunately fighting fire with fire has been proven not to work. So we need to acknowledge that a change of approach is needed. We know that we are right about all these issues and that the trolls are wrong. So instead of stooping to their level and 'getting them back' and trying to punish them for being such a pain, I think it is best to drop the 'killfile, disrupt and snipe' approach in favour of fully addressing the 'points' they make, dismantling them, and showing how they are incorrect. They are so argumentative that they will not be able to resist defending their preposterous 'arguments', and once they try to do that, we can beat them with well-reasoned logic, because we are right and they are wrong. We just need to stay calm, not rise to the bait, and show exactly how they are wrong by reasoning the issues out, each and every time. Eventually the trolls will get bored of being beaten and will go and pick on a less robust group (or even do something constructive for a change). In any case, Simon, you may disagree with the above, but I think you need to acknowledge that your way of dealing with the trolls is not the only valid one. For a long time, you engaged with them, and did so very well. Why have you now changed your approach? And can you honestly say it's working? Have any of the trolls drifted away since you started changing subjects and killfiling them? I do think that refusing to reply to these people gives them a bit of an open goal, in that they can claim that you are doing that because you know you have lost the argument. We know that isn't true of course, but to some it may seem to be. Anyway, I will continue replying to the trolls when I see fit, and pointing out the many flaws in their assertions. If you do not want to do that then that is up to you, but I think it is a bit arrogant for you to simply assume that your current approach is the best way of dealing with the trolls, and to 'instruct' me in a fairly abrupt way to follow suit. I will not. Dealing with such determined trolls is pretty difficult, and no one approach has been shown to be best in my opinion. But if anything, it has been shown that proclaiming that you don't read the trolls' posts, changing subject lines in their threads, and even making unprovoked attacks on them sometimes has failed to accomplish anything useful. So I would like it if we could all make a concerted effort to challenge these lunatics' unfounded assertions on the grounds of reason, every time they are made, and simply keep on going and give them nowhere to run. In the end, I am convinced that this will work if we all pull together and keep at it. The trolls will not be able to stand it. |
