Hi, I really liked the way the conversation was advancing on the PR before it was used to insult one of the members of the community. I don't know if closing the whole thread on the PR is only the way to keep the trolls out of it, because it also keeps everyone who is trying to make a good contribution from civilized conversation. There is another way on GitHub to only keep trolls out while making the conversation available for the ones willing to build from it?
