If people don't want MONGO to snap at them they might consider not baiting him. The ED trolls (of whom there have been several) are not gentle cuddly fluffy types. Neither are the conspiracy POV-pushers.
I think that one can say with similar validity that if MONGO wants people to stop attacking and trolling him, maybe he and his friends should stop the acts of incivility that bring on such attacks, and the feeding of the trolls that eggs them on to continue it? It takes two to tango.

One man's victim is another man's bully. One man's frivolous harassment is another man's attempt at legitimate complaint.
Oh, perhaps time to throw in One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist and One man's state terrorism is...?
Seriously: this discussion has been going around in circles for days now.
