I watched your little scuffle with WalterM on the "troll alert", and I didn't 'get' you then and I still don't get you now. Especially with your latest words below...

IF you don't like to see the words "Troll alert" then why can't YOU just ignore them???
No one is trying to tell you what to read or not read, but rather offering some guidance regarding the content of the message.
Why you let that bother you so much is way beyond my comprehension. I understood that you had some axe to grind with UT Management back then and attributed it to that. Seems I was wrong.

>My whole take on the troll alert things is that I do not need anyone else trying to determine what I should read or not. Walter and I have gone back and forth on this issue back in the days of JVP. If you get to a post that you find sensitive, or just plain stupid, then stop reading. I do not think someone else should consider it their right to suppose what I think is inappropriate.

>>I'm perfectly happy for people to say anything they choose. However, that freedom is balanced by a responsibility called "sensitivity". Nobody would regard it as a freedom of speech issue if a Christian missionary decided to loudly proclaim the good news in a Mosque. Nor is it necessary for self-proclaimed dotNET converts to come to the VFP forum every day with provocative taunts. That's not freedom of speech, that's just antisocial. IMHO. So if they do it, I hope people add a TROLL ALERT post so we can ensure that no more of our technical contributors are lost to us.
