The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the
world.   -- seen on the net

Bug#323031: [jargon] please add don't feed the troll

2005-08-14 Thread Siward de Groot 
Package: jargon
Version: 4.0.0-4
Severity: wishlist

With the current discussion about trolling on debian-project
  i tried 'dict troll' to find what it was about.
'troll' is well described in jargon,
  but it contains a note about don't feed the troll that
  mentions that it exists, but not what it is.
Adam McKenna posted a contribution in which this concept is defined :

The trolls are only half of the problem with Debian lists.
The other half of the problem is that

  many people can't restrain themselves from
replying to comments
  that are arguably trollish
with an equivalent amount of vitriol
  (also known as 'feeding the troll'). 

Could you please add this definition to jargon ?

I am CCing debian-project in case someone disagrees with this definition,
  in which case they can attach their opinion to this bug in the BTS.

  have fun !
