not to mention as many eyes and ears as possible on alert for trolls. We do get occasional lost ones through here. I think they come and run so they can go back to GD and elsewhere to brag that they bearded the lion in its den. Guess what? Lions bite. Let the mods know if you see abusive posts - they can be counted on to put a stop to it. Trolls will holler at you; call you closed-minded and mean; if that doesn't work, they'll whine flimsy excuses, but they're just trying to hang on and suck blood like a bleepin' tick. The biggest tip-off comes when they 'apologize' or 'explain your misconceptions', maybe even promise not to do it anymore - until the next time.

Sounds rather like the profile of a domestic abuser, does it not?
