Yep. And its also a good thing we have people like Chris, Lawrence, Shiri,
Richard, Lindsay, Frank, etc are here to do the same. (People who actually
care about the community, mind you)

Perhaps my tone was knee-jerk, and perhaps I was in error for posting that
way rather than taking a step back and drafting a thoughtful reply. But
we've seen over and over in this case, ignoring it doesn't make it go away.
Larry and Scott will keep at it, unless *they* ignore each other, or are
restricted from replying to each other by another force.

Well lets see, who have I called a troll? After doing a search, I've found
that I have called Scott a troll, MM a troll, and have referred to a post by
Eric Kingsley as 'trolling' (that post was canceled, along with Eric's, by
mutual agreement). Oh, and I referred to the reactions of some people to
Sproat deciding to leave (about a year ago) as trolling.
So, this is the first time I have shouted at someone I've called a troll.
As for bickering - I'm trying to quell the bickering here (and so are a
handful of others). Not that my reaction above was proper, but it was still
in the attempt to point out how tiresome the whole shenanigan is.
