<br><br>
hi,<br>
<br>
i am member of the small hackerspace in bremen/germany:<br>
<a href="http://hackerspace-bremen.de" target="_blank">hackerspace-bremen.de</a><br>
<br>
here in bremen lives a person, an underemployed journalist, quite capable of writing, but only focused on old electronics - he is the inventor of the quote<br>
"Die heutigen Kids löten nicht mehr" - "The kids of today don't solder any more" (we have three soldering stations and more soldering irons..)<br>
<br>
He was trolling our public mailing list, always with similar arguments, killing some threads and causing disturbances. We kicked him from the mailing lists.<br>
He then threatened to use some pseudonyms to get access again.<br>
<br>
He is also active on some forums and on the usenet. there he started complaining about hackerspaces etc, embedded in his other thoughts.<br>
<br>
Now the question is:<br>
<br>
should we ignore him, or should we do something proactivly?<br>
He is learning-resistant, talking with him was never frugal and only a waste of time.<br>
<br>
my idea is always: act by what he does next, if he posts something bad anywhere, ridicule him. if he keeps quiet: excellent!<br>
<br>
any recommendations? is there an anti-troll-RFC or anything?<br>
have you encountered similar or other trolls, how did you handle them?<br>
<br>
greetings, peter<br>
