Marc, I think in general I agree with your views here, except for two things - First, you are not responsible for whacking all the trolls, leave some for your other green f(r)iends, and don't lose any sleep over it. That's an order! Second, it occurred to me that maybe we need a rule about making one wait fifteen minutes between posts in any one thread - that might slow down some flame wars. Of course, some playful threads thrive on the continual back and forth banter, so maybe moderators need a switch they can throw on a thread that's melting down, and let the others just bubble away... (Gawd, what a bunch of coding that would be!)
Thankfully, I can just walk away from those meltdowns (usually - I think - some people pop my cork).
