    Good read for those of us in an internet community.

    I particularly like the following...

    Ring any bells? Anonymity causing users to say things they wouldn't in person, angry posters just people that don't have control, and trolls that do it for sport.

    Most appropriate there right now, but I think important for EVERYONE to see. :)

    You are right: EVERYONE needs to see this... I meant particularly the folks in the P & R section as some debates are "heated" to say the least!

    I'm going to avoid the obvious, "GO F' YOURSELF" comment.

    OOPS, guess I didn't after all. :D (Obligatory smiley to deflect transparent anger issues I have.)

    Rob I think you need to scrounge up $15 and take this into P&R ;)



    .....I can think of a few people in there that could use it.....

    Why is this in the Ferrari discussion section? Perhaps a move to the replica--- oops i mean vintage section --- is in order.

    I don't know about that theory. seems like the opening assumption is flawed.

    The solution is

    DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.



    If members wouldn't respond to trolls, they will eventually go to another site.

    It's like a personal foul in football, the guy retaliating always gets caught, too.

    anger is usually fear based. Am I going to look bad? Will "they" find me out? Will I loose something I covet? Will I not get something I want? etc etc

    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.


    The degree of one's emotion varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get.
