Ah, but you make one flawed assumption - that without IMM,
uk.d-i-y would be troll free. I don't believe that would happen.

Can't blame a bloke for reaching out for it when it looks so easy to
reach! ;O)

A group as busy as this is bound to attract trolls, and having
one "house" troll who is well known to the group, who deters
other trolls from participating, is preferable to having a whole
bunch of them. A case of "better the troll you know".

Possibly, but I'm not able to be fully sure, maybe it's just too
radical for me! ;O)

As DWER put it, "he may be a braindead Troll but he is OUR
braindead Troll."

I saw that, wondered what might have been smoked to think it! ;O)

That's what I think anyway. I've yet to see a Utopian NG with no
trolls.

I imagine it'd be quite nice.

But I do take your point about my responding to his posts
negating you killfiling him - I can't think of a good solution,
but I apologise for the inconvenience.

Hmm given all you 've said, what do you reckon, un-KF him and try to
enjoy abusing him along with everyone else? Seems a bit strong but
can't see any point doing much else. sigh

thinks aloud
We could try that weather-lawyer item, that's pretty toxic to just
about anything it touches, maybe it'd be like a sink pipe clearing
fluid for trolls. But then again, you're right, since this is one
useless troll, where's the harm, it keeps our count up, so keeps the
nasty stuff away. Yeah, I may even un-KF it if I get bored enough.
