    this in the long run will make sysops far better life protectors!

    Why ?

    Why? Because life is good!

    How ?

    because first they protect trolls even if the trolls bite them on the leg. his This the same as forest rangers protecting other wild things that also bite them on the leg. Just like in the forest, if it bites you on the leg a few times and does not get kicked, it becomes tame and thus your friend. Good trolls and good sysops develop this relationship usually. Good sysops don't resent being bitten on the leg much as they know it is just what trolls do. Trolls know that ifthey can bite on the leg and not be kicked, too hard, or not hunted down, then they are safe to bring more vulnerable non-troll wild things in to make a funny garden.
    right ! there is a symbiosis between all the editors, the sysops and the trolls. Some sysops, such as the gang of four think the relationship with the trolls is one of parasitism, which has to be solved by spraying insecticides all over the place to get rid of a couple of tiny unpleasant bites. They don't see that spraying the insecticide is also hurting the myriads of nice little insects, and that the whole system is suffering from losing some of its limbs. They don't see how poor the world they create is, how sad. They see not the growing frustration and resentment of the non-trolls. Who might blow up in their faces one day.

    Good sysops are nurturing little life around them. They see the trolls at worse as neutral symbionts, bringing nothing to the relationship, but feeding on the system. At best, they see them as commensals, where both sides can find benefits, and forget the little hurting bites just as growing pains.

    Yes, a good sysop might scream "iiiiik, a troll", but he won't smash him in the face; he will feed him some bits of dry bread instead. Till the birds come.

    Trolls ask only for bread with mold - when all bread is fresh, trolls go away to troll elsewhere; What is a "gang of four"? It sounds like a thing from or for Disinfopedia. I don't think there are even four people, even trolls, here on Consumerium!
