the solution is easy and no printed words are needed imo
Just scroll on by....That's what I'd do ..it's simple and less stressful; if c&p information is of no interest and/or causes stress,frustration or anger....less complaints over nothing would make for a more friendly community imo

I think long C&P are unnecessary in most threads also. That is not a complaint either, it is a personal opinion.

From Huffington Post
A troll is usually considered someone who posts in a public forum in order to get attention. While it may seem his or her behavior is directed at the original poster or a particular commenter, the troll's intention is simply to get attention. Perhaps the troll's goal is to make people laugh or appear to be superior to others. Whatever the end goal, though, a troll is more interested in being noticed than hurting a particular person.
Interesting observation. ![]()

yep that is an interesting observation (sounds as though it's taken from the Trolls view of what they do).Impact on others would be the same regardless of the reasons they state they do it though wouldn't it ?

1. IGNORE the troll — don’t respond to nasty, immature or offensive comments. Giving trolls the attention they want only gives them more power.

A group of people (who appear to collaborate outside of this forum) seem to loudly disapprove of another member's posting style.
That's just tough luck for them - harden up. The member this group loudly disapprove of posts within the rules of this forum.
That member is still here and rarely censored.
Continuing to harass this member for their posting style does none of you any favours.

Now, that sounds very much like a threat.
Don't belong to any group, don't intend to. Just voice MY opinion.
