[OT]RE: New CVS?

[dave rogers <da...@excira.com>]

Here is a nice definition of a troll... ;-)
>BTW, I don't know what troll means at all. Really! :-D


from www.dictionary.com:
1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet
designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself.
Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from
mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a
likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that
induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more
clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and
experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the
joke, you get to be in on it.

2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious
arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in
email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion.

Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in
learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait.
Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming
characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on
the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll."

Hey???!!

Please stop this! This is not helping nothing to the overall dicussion.
This is not sense at all. Try to stop the discussion and go back to him
tomorrow when the waters will be calmed again.

Tip fo all: Respect is the key for mail discussion!

Try to convince about your point with coherency. Just calling people:

censor, troll or similars does not drive us in any way.

This is not just for you Robert, but for all the other people using this
type of nonsense words here.

Please try to respect each other that this is the base of our community.

BTW, I don't know what troll means at all. Really! :-D

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.
