LOL....
captain, knowing you, i knew the reply's gonna be an essay

i am excited that you opined along the line of disagreement with me this time (as very rarely it has happened no ? :P). you gotta say, what you gotta say boy...so don't worry be it's yours truly or some tom, dick or harry you don't want to agree with. :D

coming back to the topic, and let me make it as short as possible:

i said:
the best medicine, in most instances IMO, is to ignore.

then you said:
Ignoring them, beyond a certain point, is absolving them of personal responsibility IMO

then both of us kinda agreed to the notion that san or some moderators should come into action for extreme cases.

if you missed my point in the hurry of striking your keyboards again :P, here's what i said:

for extreme abnormalities and reckless behaviors, San da Cop is always there and that's why my proposal of moderators to him--to help him in his duties.

so we both are on the same boat in this for the most part. the only difference being, and i am more confident in saying this after your interpretation of my tolerance/patience as your cowardice, you may choose to lose your cool to a troll, i have chosen to wear thick armors against them and i am happy that way

to be very candid, i have found that in most of the cases, trolls have the least patience/tolerance of all. you ignore them first time, they may come back again. you ignore them second time, they may fire up. ignore the third time, and most of them are gone. agreed, it's the trolls (the right culprit) who have to be penalized for their behaviors but if you want to do that by displaying your 'e-braveness' and if that is not-being-cowardice for you, oh well, all the best but you are risking your shoes by walking on their tracks. why do you want to harm your classy shoes? i, personally, have lots of respect for my shoes. :P

and please don't get me wrong. i am not saying the one who are picked on by the trolls should leave the site. now that would be the real 'cowardice' of a poster IMHO, wouldn't it be? what i was trying to say is, if you don't know how to handle trolls, if you cannot let go of their e-attacks, perhaps you may want to find a safer place no?

chhoto garun bhanda bhanda lamo bhayechha, sorry about that.

samsara bro,
for you, hurling them trolls may be the only way of dealing. perhaps, you don't have thick skin for resistance. . i choose to remain quiet and perhaps that's why i am LooTeKuKuR.

sn di,
muaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D
