    You're right. But while trolling is tolerated to a higher degree than some (self included) would like, it is by no means encouraged (ie welcome).

    But tolerance is, in itself, unfortunately an implicit encouragement. When all that can happen is that people take the bait, there's no reason for it to not happen - and so happen - it does. Frequently.

    That's just a passive aggressive rationalization, sorry. It's the same sort of argument that says women who dress provocatively are asking for rape.

    I do agree too much tends to be tolerated, but it's still not an excuse for people to be jackasses.

    If you want to debate it, though, bring facts instead of opinions.
    You are absolutely right.

    But don't you agree, women who dress with low cut cleavagy shirts are asking to have their breasts oggled? Or do you really believe that its hot up there and they are trying to keep them cool

    Please - don't take me on face value. I'm not blaming all of the ills of the universe on lax moderation.

    Indeed, I think that moderation isn't the whole answer to this problem, I think a lack of education and clear branding about what maemo.org actually *is* is also creating a large number of problems (cite the millions of threads that would be better directed at Nokia Care about the shortcomings of products that have been purchased, etc).

    At the end of the day, though, while law enforcement it isn't the only cure for society's ills (better education, etcetera, etcetera) - law enforcement is still a big reason why regular, every-day people don't get away with everything they can.
