I'm familiar with the idea of the Troll, or poster who attempts to rile up or agitate others by derisive comments such as this so despite my connection to sar, I can't say I was quite "offended" as the comment is almost laughable in it's baselessness...But I am in agreement with wendy, why the choice for 1 week rather than two? I've seen two weeks handed out for less, and this comment seems to be intentionally spitefull... not to mention, considering the seriousness of the subject matter, nothing that anyone would want to peruse while surfing a site based around mutual -support-
I also agree with beardedlady in regards to the fact that some people will naturally be taken in by the bait and respond in some fashion just simply out of protection of their 'teritory'... Even though that ignoring the poster is ultimately the best weapon, I think those that have come to rely on this board as a source of information and support may tend to naturally react defensively when comments like these are made. Furthermore, I also don't think that the statement that someone is looking for attention is too far off the mark in this case... There are far too many incidents on the net that have similar modus operandi to overlook the notion that someone may just be out looking to fuel their own sick sense of need...
Only time will tell but it seems doubtfull that said poster will contribute meaningfully or suportively to the board, nor after said comments will anyone care if they do...
Do you have a contingency plan for such a poster who has claimed that they will simply re-register and come back to insite more ire...?
