Trolls and MVPs?

Why is it apparently necessary for certain MVPs to reply to the known
trolls in this newsgroup?

I can understand some others but MVPs should know better, shouldn't
they?

Hello,
I'm not an MVP, but sometimes I can't help writing my opinion because I
don't like them to have their wrong facts everywhere without somebody
answering the (more) true facts. Of course they like to provoke, but there
are many persons reading their sometimes very silly remarks.

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

Everyone should know better, especially regulars. But unfortunately too
often the human factor comes into play.

The majority of MVPs that post to this newsgroup are idiots, prima
donna types and crybabies when they're not waiting in line to take
turns kissing Microsoft ass.

I have found adding trolls to a block sender list very effective.

I have to say that being a recent member I find it alarming at the level
of back and forth between these two groups.

They seem to hijack many of the threads, leaving the actual OP and
others to wade thru their muck mire.

And if I may inquire, where are the Mods to take some action? These
types of threads are exactly when they are needed.

Trolls are inevitable, but to 'feed' them is, IMHO not wise.

Lets see less of that and more excellence of replies, which this forum
really has a great deal of to offer.

I not only block trolls but I block those who perpetuate discussions with
them. It does help with the message traffic here on a daily basis. ;-)
