The only rational conclusion is that his motivation and purpose is to get a reaction, any reaction, from other posters. Therefore, unless you enjoy being a pawn in his amusement, the only rational response is to have no response, especially to the call of "crickets".
I once saw it posted that the only thing a troll is fishing for is hungry guppies. (insert Wayne's World "fish on" video clip here)
In full disclosure, I do laugh from time to time on who and what he hooks.
That is the problem.....It's all in the delivery. Most of Growler's points have some merit but It's kind of a "chicken or the egg" thing now though. There is so much bad blood, the guy can't post anything without getting blasted......even when he attempts to "mellow" his tone he gets attacked. Since yesterday, I have seen at least five personal attacks on Growler. Do the mods say anything? No. Is Growler guilty of being "thin skinned" and over reacting? Yes. Unfortunately he goes "scorched earth" and things blow up. His detractors of course know this is Growler's M.O. so the cycle continues......I really agree with the recent attempts to make things more civil around here but it really needs to get more even handed IMO. Maybe it's a "work in progress" we'll see.....
