This is a general response, and addressed to no one in particular - just a response to the theme of the thread. ==>> I didn't know what the term "troll" meant, which was being referred to in some of the emails on this and the other similar threads, so I looked it up and found at the Indiana University website (<a href="http://kb.iu.edu/data/afhc.html">http://kb.iu.edu/data/afhc.html</a>), the following comment: "People post such messages (trolls) to get attention, to disrupt discussion, and to make trouble. The best response to a troll is no response. If you post a follow-up message, you are contributing to the resulting clamor and most likely delighting the troller. " The wisdom in this seemed to me to be the recommendation: "The best response to a troll is no response." Could this sort of guidance be included in the CoC (perhaps in the "When you disagree" section) ? and also complied with by the rest of us from henceforth - difficult and all as that is to do? I feel this could help. Brian Clarkson, A very grateful Ubuntu user who is thankful for all the technical help so generously given on this list. (My apologies to those I offend by placing this on more than one thread but unfortunately the discussion is now proceeding on several fronts.) <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote> </div>
