17. I think people need to be careful with the troll comments

I've seen people go into boardline harrassment mode on other people who are clearly not trolls. I'm all for getting rid of those who cause problems, but making the false assumption someone is a troll is probably driving away some.

I didn't join the board until part way through the 2008 primary and was a lurker for a long time.

It's all nice to preach tolerance except on a message board where you can attack people.

Some people seriously need help.
