Smut *is* intentionally trolling if he gets a post in one group and redirects his reply to an unrelated group.

Snot *is* trolling if he gets a post in this group, even from a Mac user, provided that Mac user is responding only in this group, then he redirects his response to another group.

Snort *is* inviting others from other groups into this one when he does such things, ala KKK-(wo)Man.

There is *no* equivalency unless they are doing the same or similar things.

What I see is people who have issues with Sn1T addressing their issues *with* Twit. Whether or not I agree with their particular argument, behavior, language or anything else is another matter. He invited them here when he started deciding to redirect threads *from* here *to* there.

I don't read CSMA. How do I know if he has responded to me there? I don't. How are people who *do* read that and are being annoyed by what he's doing supposed to handle it?

Maybe I missed something, but from the looks of things, they came here and stayed mostly to posting to *this* group about their arguments. Sn#t is the snot that isn't following etiqutte-netiquette. That's true no matter whether they are or not.

You say you've scolded him about it. He's still doing it. What does that say to you? It says to me that he has no regard for anyone but Snoot. Same as any other troll.

I'm not trying to make the case that any of them are innocent or guilty of anything. Except for one thing: *HE* is sending posts to them, not the other way around.

The mthodology may differ, but the point is the same.

So, let me see if I have this right. Let's say I subscribe to the Debian mailing list and the Fedora list, too. Let's also say that I've gone to a lot of trouble (say, 50 posts a day for 18 months, or thereabouts) on the Fedora list to make as many enemies as possible.. One day I make somebody mad on the Debian list and they light into me. I should reply to that anger on the Fedora list?

Well, maybe "supporter" wasn't the correct word. But I can't currently think of one that fits in this case (enabler might, but that's not really a good choice either). I simply mean someone entertaining, helping, trusting, giving the benefit of the doubt, whatever, despite what I (and others, evidently) see to be blatant disregard for everyone but himself.

I see that as part of the ruse. I see the major part of the ruse his pretending to be innocent here while still intentionally riling those in CSMA, then acting puzzled and and further justified in even more obnoxious behavior for the terrible treatment he receives as a result.

Okie-dokie. Time will sort it all out eventually.
