from what i saw, this particular thread (but actually this also happened with previous threads started by that same person), it seems every post is an incitement for a flamefest. I do have only limited time, and if all that time is being spent in reading emails... Now i easily can and _have_ ignored this thread (mark thread as read); i admit i'm not really planning on doing this kind of blocking atm, and i do think that given a few more new threads by this person and the problem will have sorted itself (ie: no more people replying to it), and i also admit that my frustration got the better of me, and looking at this email the opportunity presented itself for a kind of a "statement-ish statement" which is completely OT. As such, i would like to ask anyone here to refrain from commenting on this thread, as it appears thinking back on this that i'm no better with regards to trolling than the person of whom i'm sure you know who i meant. Sorry.
