And that's cool. But Troll Awareness needs to be applied as well.
Sadly, I'm actually turning over a new leaf.
1. For threads that I've been historically active on, in which the hosts of this site have been exceptionally gracious at staying on point, it's a one strike policy to the ignore button (liberally applied, of course, in an effort not to stifle good faith discussion from folks genuinely curious, several of whom are sitting on ball one).
2. As for the filterless one (ie, Brian), the weather forecast, to paraphrase the great George Carlin, is for continued snark until morning. I already have a puppy that pees on the carpet thank you very much.
3. Consistent with my longstanding policy and previous farewell message, no name calling.
