Hi all,

As I have suspected for some time, we have a troll in our midst. I am wondering how best to deal with the individual and would appreciate your feedback.

Since our inception almost three years ago, I am proud to say we have had to ban only two people.

Usually, the troll will highjack a thread and throw out some renegades clearly meant to stir the community and get attention as opposed to add to the discussion. In the past, Amy, Erika, Gloria and I have made the decision offline to ban such individuals. But I am wondering if we should implement a comment ratings system a la Daily Kos.  

Please let me know what you think -- and take my big stinking troll poll. Thanks!
