Check the mirror.
Since this is a list ostensibly devoted
to information, here, from the Dictionary of Jargon, is an apt
definition of *troll*.....
An individual who chronically trolls in a sense, regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net....
in addition, I'm in ageement with
those who think there has been more than enough film vs. digital and
way more than enough faux Bob Rosen.....both of those got old after
the second iteration....IMHO.....how about we all go back to having
some respect for each other and perhaps change the subject....
