I'mnew to thislist but it seems to me that if people don't react the pot in effect hasn't been stired. And, this really doesn't help any of us who need help or want to discuss Bookshare right?

It is interesting, isn't it? Most discussion lists get a person who trolls, sooner or later. Usually the list manager puts a troll on moderate so that they don't get the opportunity to constantly stir up the pot. Since Bookshare hasn't ever assigned an active list manager to this list, as far as I've ever seen, the only way left for the list members to handle a troll is to ignore the posts made by that individual every time they begin trolling. smile.Judy s.

I'd never heard that term before. smile Cindy --- "Judy s." <cherryjam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Cindy, Sharon and Patti, Roger is trolling every time someone posts regarding Christianity, and has done so since he came on the list. If you're not familiar with the term "troll" or "internet troll," here's a definition from Wikipedia: "An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion" The best way to handle trolling (again I'll quote from Wikipedia, as they put it well) is simple: "Do not feed the troll." You'll find that abbreviated as "D-N-F-T" or "D-F-T-T" in Internet slang. Put simply: you'll drive yourself crazy by getting sucked into a discussion with someone who is trolling. Considerjust ignoring a troll's posts when he or she is trolling. Provoking a response is what a troll enjoys. Roger himself has postedhere that he loves to stir things up just for the fun he gets out of it. grin. Judy s.
