It is silly to continue to post to or about Lou Pilder.
It ruins the forum.
Just don't do it...
I think that explaining to new members about our problem with trolls is important, although not always necessary. It doesn't take more than one or two posts directed to the new member in order to accomplish this. It is important not to engage the troll directly in any way. Any comments to be made should be directed to the new member, not the troll. Attempts by a troll to hijack threads should be met with silence. They are to be dismissed and disregarded. If one decides to post a comment in response to the troll, I think it is critical to rewrite the subject line, perhaps returning it to the original verbiage. This will prevent the name of the troll from littering the page and creating a wall of graffiti.
I realize that this is just one more post devoted to the behaviors of Lou Pilder - something that I would like to see avoided whenever possible.
Ignore the troll.
Lou Pilder is our very own cute little troll. What unmoderated forum would be complete without one?
Don't feed the troll.
