Dodger:
What you believe is your prerogative. You have no right to tell others what they should, or should not believe.

Can't you all just ignore, in the normal way, those people who you believe to be hydras without making such a song and dance about it!
Dodger:
You are the one who started this song and dance. Then when the music got too loud, you started casting personal insults and trying to rationalize your position.

Have we had many new posters joining us recently? No because as soon as they appear they are jumped on as clones by the Gang of Five.
Dodger:
New posters join because they enjoy the discussions that take place on a Board like this, not to listen to a bunch of repetitive bullshit about Trolls. I put our resident Troll(s) on “ignore” months ago and have never once mentioned our Troll(s) since putting him (them) on “ignore”. You’re the one who pulled the Troll into this topic, not anyone else. Who are you kidding?
Furthermore, if you’re truly interested in gaining new members, why don’t you try posting something of interest yourself, instead of just sitting back in the bleachers casting insults and criticizing those of us who are actually making an effort?

I would just note also that the Gang of Five have all been on the wrong side of a particular acerbic tongue, as have I, but that doesn't justify a campaign to get said poster banned or ignored.
Dodger:
No member has to justify anything to you regarding their choice to ignore someone. You clearly don’t like the position that others have taken, but that’s simply none of your business.
Brad, it’s apparent (to me anyway) that somewhere along the road your ego’s been bruised. This has nothing to do with “Trolls”, it has to do with your ego. Not wanting to contribute to this condition, I would ask you to please just put me on “ignore” and call it a day. Life’s too short for this type of meaningless dribble!
