No doubt some of you are aware that we've had a slight troll invasion from another poker forum today. Certainly it didn't come unprovoked, as there were some definite unkind words posted here about their forum and its members. Regardless, I think that we should all step back and relax before getting our panties all in a bunch trying to respond to the troll posts.

Now, certainly we've got a great site with a strong sense of community here, and I can understand where perceived assaults upon it are going to be irksome. But think about where you are and why you're here.

First, this forum is so awesome, at least to me, due to the level of friendliness and helpfulness (fuck, is "helpfulness" even a word?) from every member from the newest newbie all the way to the mods. As soon as we start posting ugly remarks about how another forum that might not be as friendly or helpful "sucks," etc., we're actually taking our own community down to that level.

Second, and maybe more to the point...you guys...you're not in a gang. It's a web site. Theirs is another web site. There is absolutely NO rivalry or competition. The sites both just happen to be about the same subject. Do you really want to get involved in an imaginary internerd turf war?

Anyway.

For sanity's sake, please just ignore the trolls. If you are so inclined, report them to a mod to get them cleaned up. There's no need to get into ridiculous little e-battles when we could be spending our time talking poker.
