A small thought on trolling and some other stuff…
First, the small thought on trolling: I’ve noticed that trolling is often no longer the big problem it used to be. By calling obnoxious posters out as trolls when they first post, we seem able to stem the tide of … Continue reading

Wha…?!?!
Today I’m going to link to an entry in Charlie’s Diary because he says all there is to say on this really. That’s where I read about this and sometimes I just think mirroring a story is a good idea. … Continue reading
