Can we put to rest this medicated issue, please?  Can we stick to attacking people for their words and attitudes and bad haircuts and leave their illnesses out of it?  

Seriously - that's not cool.  

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

What's not cool? I am just composing a comment out of Twank quotes that Ted said shoud be applauded rather than condemned. According to Ted I am not trolling, because eliciting a response is encouraging discussion regardless of the nature of the response.

Did I mention this whole thread is an example of why I haven't been around ET much, lately?

Whatever Mig.  You'll note I ignored Twank's comment.

According to Ted, by doing so you validated it. And if you had replied, you would also have validated it.

Which means that Ted's statement that Twank's comment is a-okay is not subject to empirical refutation based on your reaction or lack thereof.

Fortunately, I don't live by Ted's Rule of Logic.  Just ignore him too.

Oh come on - what has been SO terrible about it?  We've had an interesting discussion of the nature of trolling :-) What's the big deal? Poemless isn't upset - she's been very "sane" about it :-)

I don't need mood medication - apart from the occasional glass of something alcoholic - and then fortunately it's a want rather than a need.

By the way - I realise being a FPer is a thankless task - but don't take it too seriously - or the trolls will be after you :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
