I am posting here instead of on the thread with the excised profanity in its title.

Ouch.  Can we please have civility on this board?

Reminding myself (and others) not to feed the trolls...

What I really hate is when a troll will then post under another name to make his/her trollish-ness seem more valid.  MUST NOT FEED TROLLS!

If I may note, the double-bind involved in answering/not answering trolls is of great antiquity:

In Prov. 26.4, we have "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him."  But just after that, we have, "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit" (Prov. 26.5).  So, as they say, damned if you do, and damned if you don't. 
 
Meanwhile, to whomever makes statements or ask questions for any reason but a sincere love of the truth, let me say:  We didn't start the fire that is consuming USM.  Those who did will eventually be burned themselves. 
 
Note that the last two statements are metaphors refering to observable patterns of action/reaction in the nature of reality and not to threats of violence.  For the action/reaction, see also Prov. 26.27, "Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him."  (Sorry for being King James-y today, but that translation was the best book ever produced by a committee.)

Back to work . . . .
