Yes, Warbler, you really shouldn't. I like that you brought up the ignoring bullies comment. I was often victimized by bullies as a child myself, and ignoring them certainly didn't make them go away. You're absolutely right. And it's pretty nearly impossible to make all trolls or bullies go away. This or any board or any microcosm is just like a playground at school, and you can't choose who plays on that playground with you, so you just have to let the insults and immature behavior not affect you, and just try your best to have fun with it. If they get under your skin, they win, and then they continue with increasing frequency.

I've reread this post, and I'm afraid it might sound like I'm being condescending, but I'm really not, so please don't take it that way. I'm just trying to relate it to something near and dear to my heart.
