    JTEM is a narcissistic crank best left ignored.

    Agreed. I prefer the "auto-ignore" technique, but it tends
    to take a bit of heat from flamewar aficionados, as well as
    from at least one semi-literate nutbar who referred to it as >>"censorship". Oy...

    Assuming you're referring to me, cite to those "regular

    Jillery isn’t a troll and has provided some good, knowledgable, on topic posts here over the years. Easily triggered so maybe it is better practice
    not to poke the bear. Mutual forbearance (forgive the pun).

    It's usually worked the other way around, especially when I
    happen to mention killfiles and their use. I generally
    ignore her(?) when operating in that mode.

    And you are correct; jillery frequently provided interesting
    and valuable on-topic posts. And who, as I noted, is not a
    troll in the classic sense of those who post *solely* to
    spark flamewars, and have no interest in on-topic
    discussion.

    What you characterize as "easily triggered" is instead merely noting
    the mindless and baseless personal attacks from posters exercising
    their inner trolls.

    I think we both have experienced inflicted trauma from someone who used to
    post here but will no longer. Now that negativity is gone maybe rebuild and
    try not to maim each other and move beyond. We will never experience that
    level of vitriol again.
