   Three stories that someone else you were got into flame wars with done   
   something to start them. What was the point of your writing all that, if   
   whether you  got into a flame war with them or not really had nothing to   
   do with what they'd done?

   No mistake there. They were trolls who were attacking other members of   
   the group.

   Don't be such a Peabrain. Labelling a statement as an example of T4T has   
   no bearing on whether it's true or not; any more than, say, labelling   
   one as an example of IKYABWAI or preemption does.

   So you've said. This is already too long, without you repeating   
   yourself.
