[TowerTalk] Trash Talk - please stop

[Patrick Greenlee]

Thanks to all you swell guys who responded to help me set filters on my 
T-bird email client.  Now that I know a couple ways to fix the problem, 
Steve (yay Steve!) a TT moderator fixed the problem for all of us.

In general I do not support censorship or detract from free speech but 
there are times when either or both are  applicable and appropriate. A 
couple examples include shouting fire! fire! in a crowded auditorium and 
another is baiting all comers so as to create a platform to be a 
sounding board for hate.

When someone makes it crystal clear his purpose is to complain about a 
perceived problem rather than fix the problem, perhaps we should just 
remain silent rather than be troll fodder.

Help and beneficial suggestions were offered in plentitude but ignored 
in favor of raging and baiting TT posters. Once that is obvious it is 
better to remain silent and let the fire burn out from  lack of well 
intentioned but poorly executed stoking.
