Can someone please ban the trolls? Please? I've got better things to do with my time than read R.E. Broadley's attempts to needle RickK or the rantings of some "iridologist" with a personality problem.

My apoologies; I forwarded the Irismeister message as a legal threat (even one of the crackpotted variety at first glance).

Seconded, I said after his first post that I'd be happy having him off the list. This is meant to be a moderated list, are any of the moderators paying attention? I'd rather a moderator deal with this, but if they're not around, I'll do it.

Tim,
Might you please extend me the courtesy of letting me know what I have done to warrant your proposal? I have read the Internet trolls article, and I can see no match between the individuals being described and myself. All of my posts have been in good faith, and none of them with the intention to bait. I am assuming your email was also in good faith.
Regards, Edmund Broadley

Whether you intend to or not, your posts stir up a lot of senseless trouble. It's hard to explain simply, but mainly it comes down to you not knowing or misunderstanding the basic policies of Wikipedia and results in discussions which start at square one over and over.

Fred,
In this case, it might be a good idea for the web page where one signs up for the mailing list to mention links to the basic policies, and inform people not to post to the mailing list prior to reading them all. Apologies if it already says this - I obviously missed it if so. I also wasn't aware that most of my emails had been so newbie-ish, so apologies for this also. I shall try harder in future.
Sincerely, Ed

Probably not, but we don't need to feed them. Mark
