Rich has a long history of trolling here and elsewhere. The problem with
trolling is it grows. Successful trolling attracts more trolls. If you want
to see what that looks like, journey over to sci.astro. It used to be a
decent neighborhood, but is now the ghetto of trolls and netloons. The same
could happen here. In fact, it was not that long ago we noticed the trolls
increasing rapidly. Posts by a few of the older members here helped bring it
back into line (well, actually that started it. Some research by a few
members who posted what they found helped stop the worst of the trolling
