Troll Alert

'Trolls' are wind-up merchants. I've noticed plenty posting on this site.

Below is a link to a site explaining just what Trolls are. I've noticed Trolls winding people up on this site, especially when it comes to mocking those killed in war or humiliated in some way. Obviously this causes a lot of anger and distracts from what are otherwise interesting and informative discussions.

Hopefully the advice on this site will help people cut through the crap that Trolls ply them with. Remember, don't take the bait!
