"Remember the good old days when this was just a place to exchange facts and observations about our Priuses. How'd we attract this moronic . . ."
It is a common problem in unmoderated forums. A troll comes and tries to cause a rucus. All it takes is self-discipline and kill-file technology or switch to a troll free forum. My favorite is:
GreenHybrid.com
Fortuantely, trolls often try to start a rucus. Simply use their subject in a temporary kill-file and in the silence, they will move on. Realize a troll, like a SPAMMER, is a sociopath. They have no interest in what you think but live for what you think about them . . .
