No, hysterical rhetoric about pictures of turds generating huge numbers of 
unecessary e-mails to a list already inundated with these kinds of e-mails 
reflects poorly on the project, and that needs to stop.

That wasn't baiting, that was mocking; with any luck, it will stop futher 
impassioned e-mails repeating the same thing ad nauseam.  If it doesn't 
work, I'll have to resort to mass deletion of unread e-mails, as I have had 
to do so many times in the past.

If I didn't think they were a complete troll I would indeed have ignored 
them.  Instead I tried to bring them to their senses, and to spare the 
endless rounds of debate on a topic that's been thoroughly covered.
