I think it's important not to jump to conclusions about any particular poster's toxicity. IMHO this video itself is a toxic meme because when newly introduced into a community, it seems somehow to encourage people to embark on an idiosyncratic witchhunt for "poisonous people". Wait, I saw something... THERE'S THE WITCH! Sure, there are some people who just waste everyone's time on a mailing list, but I think the half-life of their poison is usually quite short - everyone silently recognizes them for what they are and just stop engaging. But mere disagreement does not a witch^Wpoisonous person make. I think the single most useful point from the video (if it's the same one as has been pointed to before, on this list) is something everyone already knows: don't feed the trolls. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
