While I appreciate and welcome intelligent, well thought out comments, and am always interested in engaging in a rational exchange of viewpoints, I happen to have a low tolerance for ignorant, immature trolling by pin heads trying to illicit negative responses from otherwise reasonable people.

I am an expert troll hunter, and well acquainted with these simpleton tactics. The "paper bag of flaming poo" left on the forum's doorstep after ringing a virtual doorbell and running away that is the signature of this kind of dolt, will not be played here the way they expect it to be. We have a no-troll tolerance policy here.

Responding to someone who is obviously soliciting hateful response by using inflammatory language is just what these kind of trolls want you to do. I suggest either ignoring them, or doing what I have chosen to do. Report it to the moderators asking them to prune the wasted bandwidth.

The administrators have been notified of this infestation, and are tracking the offending IP addresses already. So, out of respect for the real people who have responded to this thread, I will not allow it to be hi-jacked. I have asked to have the offending B.S. deleted.

The unfortunate fact is, "Open Discussion" has already been dangerously close to being closed forever because of these kind of untolerable fools "acting out". The moderators and administrators are sick and tired of it. If we all want this forum to remain, we had better take care of our problems off of the forum, and do whatever we can to help get rid of this kind of intentional "flame baiting".
