[LOON]: 'Ignoring Lazaridis'-proposal

[Saynatkari]

How about everyone stops responding to Lazaridis?
This latest thread has confirmed all troll-suspicions.

To protect the integrity of information about ruby and
the list itself (for example a ml hit from a search
engine), I also recommend that whenever a new post from
Lazaridis appears, whoever is quickest will post a
standard response such as:


"Ilias Lazaridis is a troll and is being ignored by this
community on purpose. Any information from Lazaridis should
be considered to be either incorrect or inaccurate.

If you came across this Lazaridis post in a search on a
ruby-related question, we advise you to post your question
to comp.lang.ruby (or (e-mail address removed), the mirrored
mailing list), or try another search result.

Regards,
ruby-talk- and comp.lang.ruby users"

I dont think this works, Ruby's community is just too nice I propose to
create automatically generated responses from some kind of eliza bot and
use this as the response. Eventually the troll will get annoyed and leave.

He's not a troll. People who try to label other trolls are more
annoying to me than actual/near/nowherenear trolls.

From TNHD

Troll - "To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable
responses or flames"

He's not doing that, he's just living in a different world to most
people where he wants detailed regimented responses to questions he
considers important.

Dealing with that sort of person is part of the 'live and let live'
philosophy I'd expect alot of Rubists to have.

No, but his postings are still attracting predictable responses and/or
flames. Time and time again, people have tried to take him seriously
and responded with information that anyone but him would consider
sufficient to answer his question. He just doesn't care about getting
answers, which makes him a troll, whether it fits the definition or not,

This makes me wonder what Ilias is like in the real world. Can you
imagine him trying to order a beer in bar?

Yes, these creatures share the quality of Boggarts from the Harry
Potter books. They only have any effect through any attention we give
them. We should just ignore. (I speak from long time
comp.lang.smalltalk experience.)

Thank you Peter, I totally agree. Yes, we should ignore him. With this
is mind, I authored the following:

While I grant yours is much more entertaining, I maintain
mine may better convey information for the casual browser

Perhaps we can include both in the event he decides he does,
in fact, have more leeway in his Ruby Time Budget and posts
again.

Hmm, definitely not a troll. Something, as Shakespeare would say, more
"rich & strange" than a troll.

I agree that a two pronged approach is probably best. I just worry that
ANY response to him will be enough encouragement for him to post more.

Were we lucky this time? Meaning it seems like because of
kind posters, we have a plethora of info on singleton classes
and metaclasses that resulted from kind folks trying to
answer questions.

I'm just thinking in terms of focusing on the positive.

This lynch mob/clique mentality is disapointing, and doesn't fit in
ruby-talk. If you dont like him ignore him. Is that so hard? Why blow
it up out of all proportion?
