Quote:Nirmukta community has some parallels to the open source communities. For example somebody who uses Linux, but doesn’t contribute anything to the community feels so entitled that he wants the community to do what he wants. At that point the community bluntly tells him to STFU and be the change he wants to be.

Rajesh (this is Sunil btw) - so you think no trolls should be banned. Question for you then, something I asked Tiwari on the fb thread - are you a member/do you know of any freethought forum which does not ban trolls? What is it like? And how successful has that group been in achieving its goals?

Affected Profundity Troll perhaps? "Pretentious drivel that is intended to appear wise, but which generally makes little sense (if any)".
Or we could introduce a new category of troll, called the
Not Even Wrong Troll.
