I'm glad that someone said this, because more than once before when I spoke out against some bad behaviour, my irssi lit up with a dozen messages saying "Don't feed the troll." I understand the nature of trolls and not wanting to feed them, but it is entirely possible to denounce them without giving them fuel, even though it can be like walking a tightrope at times. -Jonathan -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) <jcc> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be Bold.
