What the fuck? Away for a few hours and come back to find every other thread on lock down. Kind of excessive, isn't it? Off Topic is starting to look like FE or TF.n.

Thanks to the (nice) lax moderation, we end up with a severe troll problem, then when Fink tries to deal with the troll problem we decide it is moderation time and moderate the hell out of his attempt. Meanwhile, yay, troll's still here!

How can "troll" be still here if there was never one in the first place?

Hey, CP, you seem like an intelligent fellow (whenever you keep out of pissing contests, that is ), so here's an idea:
Next time you read a joke about something, how about you don't respond with an aggressive insult post, and there won't be any trouble? Sounds reasonable?

Better than fueling flamewars first, and then pointing fingers at imaginary "trolls" when it gets too hot, it seems to me.
But maybe you have a different opinion about that ;)
