Well, that was certainly "helpful".

I'm no help either, though.

We both helped increase list traffic, which has been quite low...

To be perfectly frank, I don't think anyone can be of much help on this matter with regard to Facebook. I think Facebook has made it perfectly clear that it is not in the business of enabling discussion. It's in the business of selling ads... Unfortunately, trolls use ads too. I suspect trolls actually use more ads, thus "paying" for the right to be jerks, but I certainly don't have the ad metrics to data mine in order to test that particular hypothesis.

The lesson: more "privately hosted" mailing lists, less Facebook. Please.
