It's interesting that this would be posted with my name on it, just a
few days after I had a run-in with our local morph-troll (Rich, etc.).
I had always wondered if this was the same poor sick person who was
posting these nasty attacks against starlord.

People complain about the loonies (Min, oriel, Guth, etc.), but the
loonies have always been a part of SAA.

No offence sunshine but I am the only person in this group who truly
understands the most basic astronomical principle relating in daily
rotation through 360 degrees.I could understand it if 99.999% of the
group chose to believe their 'sidereal time' justification for the
Earth's motions but not one person,not one single blessed individual
has come forward to affirm that it cannot be done,not now and not
ever .

I have no idea why people are doing this,none !








 In my opinion what really
changed SAA for the worse in the last few years is the morph-trolling.
It is the disruption caused by the trolling that makes it darn near
impossible to have any sort of discussion here.  When three out of four
posts apparently from a newbie are really a troll waiting to launch an
attack on anyone who responds, what kind of effect is that going to have
over time?  And when every reasoned response to a real post is met with
a personal attack, what is that going to do?

But here's the thing--at least here on SAA, I've come to suspect that
this disruption is the work of a single (very sick) person.

Here's another piece of evidence that this is all the work of a single
person: the trolling here stopped cold for a week or so in August.
During that time I noticed a big improvement in the signal-to-noise.
For an all to brief moment there were actually a few normal (at least
for usenet) conversations...
