Yeah, CM was a problem -- I was on his shit list too although I never thought of him as a troll. But then he never accused me of anything illegal, just conflating my own desires/wishes into general principles (I suppose it is a temptation for me sometimes -- I try to keep it in check -- i.e., asking myself do I think this because it might actually be true or because I want it to be true?) If things become a problem again the way in which I now concede they were during the era of which Eric wrote, we might want to urge the cogs to be a bit more proactive in enforcing Rule 3. SR |
