Re: Dave Hicks Doesn't Like Free Speech Message #3 Posted by Thomas Okken on 2 Mar 2006, 7:53 a.m., in response to message #2 by Geir Isene Let's have a huge flame war where we all outdo each other in telling the troll in the sternest possible terms how much we disapprove. That'll teach him. ;-)

Two, actually ;P OTOH, this incident is a good opportunity to ask for obligating 'contributors' to the registration process. I know it's not really my business but I can't impossibly be the only one getting annoyed by trolls and anonymous poster. Thomas

Re: Dave Hicks Doesn't Like Free Speech Message #5 Posted by Geir Isene on 2 Mar 2006, 8:43 a.m., in response to message #4 by Thomas Radtke Right. I wasn't so much going for the troll here. I'm concerned about the phenomenae as such. The last couple of weeks has seen cowardice bloom.

Re: Dave Hicks Doesn't Like Free Speech Message #7 Posted by Donald Leonard on 2 Mar 2006, 3:14 p.m., in response to message #6 by Vassilis Prevelakis Again folks, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. This works especially well here because reaction is obviously what is being sought. The dead silence will speak volumes. Yet, there always seem to be people who can't resist jumping into agitators traps. This reaction also leaves the impression of eliteism and rudeness when used with visiting newbs asking what are perceived as "dumb" or unsearched questions. Lets just be nice. Either provide friendly help or silence. Donald

Re: Dave Hicks Doesn't Like Free Speech Message #8 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 2 Mar 2006, 6:09 p.m., in response to message #7 by Donald Leonard Instead of total silence, Dave has proposed that we use the "report post" feature more often. It helps him to filter isulting messages before too many of us get too upset. Marcus
