A german term comes to my mind which applies perfectly to this: |
| 15 |
"Blinder Aktionismus" which roughly translates to "blind actionism". |

I'm totally baffled that few people seem to know how to filter trolls |
| 27 |
out of their inboxes. |
| 28 |
In the past such trolls were treated with a "plonk" and all was good. |

But nowadays everything has to be ruled somehow. |

Ah well, it's only a disservice to our users. Nothing the council needs |
| 31 |
to worry about as they seem to have forgotten that they once were users |
| 32 |
as well... |
