Seems like we're all beginning to jump just a little too quickly on the "troll patrol". While it is often times an accurate assumption, doesn't any one else feel that we should give people a chance to prove themselves one way or the other before labeling them a troll? One of the dangers of immediately naming some one a troll is that you take the risk of creating one where there might not be one.
Just my 2 cents.

Mar 11, 2010I agree Jen. I just made a post and called them a troll right off the batt. Ill go edit it and hope I was wrong.

Thanks Blue. I saw that you changed that post and I really appreciate it. You're probably right about that one but it could also be a language barrier. One of the people we consider to be a good friend on this site, started off on rocky ground (borderline flame fest with him) until we realized that there were misunderstandings due to English not being his native tongue. Once we realized that, he turned out to be a real sweetheart. He spent over an hour on skype with me last spring, teaching me a new (to me) method of dying Easter eggs.

I think Ive gotten a little jumpy lately with all the trouble. Pretty irritated that we are losing good members left and right. Ill try and have a little more patience. Everyone was very patient with me and I need to remember that.

Agreed, NIM. And your response to him was fair.
