I drafted this a while back but never posted it. Over time I’ve learned to write something, let it sit until the heat of the moment cools, and then decide whether it’s worth sharing. I must have decided against it then, since I can’t find it anywhere on the forum now. After rereading, I think it’s worth posting—without naming names—because I feel it captures the situation well.
This whole incident might have been amusing if it hadn’t ended with the loss of a member. On reflection, maybe the only way to salvage anything from a bad situation is to see the humor in it.
Here’s what happened: a troll pushed things just far enough to drive someone away. Then, unbelievably, the troll was defended—almost like some twisted forum mascot.
I know I’m feeding the troll a little here, but it needed to be said. The whole episode reeks of troll nonsense.
By the way, I’m pretty sure I wrote this—99% certain. But if it turns out someone else did, well… great minds think alike!
