Default Ignoring the Disrupters

The plague of twits attempting to interfere with afb has increased the
normal signal-to-noise ratio drastically. It's as annoying as a hemorrhoid.

While it is tempting (most of us have succumbed at one time or another) to
respond to trolls with some clever witticism, it's quite counterproductive
since the net result is a) encouragement to the troll, prompting more stupid
posts and b) the defeat of blocking by those of us who don't want to see
this BS, since "Block Sender" only blocks the OP, not the responders.

This is ****ing many of us off.

Several of the regulars have asked us "Not to Feed the Trolls," and I ask
that also. With the exception of correcting a spoof, let's quit answering
this pernicious troll.

Please, may we have as much of a consensus as possible? If you agree, will
you respond to this thread? I hope that if enough of us do so, it will make
a point to all who might be tempted to continue the stupid bantering and
maybe in time the asshole troll will go away.
