Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1327664, member: 31533"]Yeah, I have to chime in too. I don't think rascal fits in the troll category exclusively. He seems to have an interest in coins, error and possibly otherwise. But I think his way of acting on the board is somewhat trollish, perhaps because of other things guiding how he interacts with people. I don't think he has the need to be right so much as needing to have the last word and allowing himself to think that he's god's gift to everyone else here. If that means putting people down, antagonizing others, accusing other people of being things that most people see in him, well, that's the way it is. So, ultimately, no one "wins" against him. As much as he will always try to have the last word, whether by starting new posts on the same old subjects, or whatever, it is, IMO, as someone else said here, important to refute what we know to be wrong information given by him, as others come to CT as a resource, as to leave him "alone" and unrefuted when he's intent on teaching others the wrong thing, is harmful to people who do want to learn. So..... the thing I'll be doing is complimenting and correllating what he says is correct, and refuting what is wrong, with a healthy discussion allowed. Peace and goodwill to all on this board. It's Christmas time, (Newtonmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, et al), so lets be as much in that spirit as we can.[/QUOTE]
