Inform them that their behavior is damaging the list atmosphere, and ask them to please knock it off. Shaming the behavior works too, but I'd prefer to go with the former. > The collective experience of theachers is that punishment for bad > performance works, despite research showing otherwise.

If there is some sort of implication it is with > rurpy in that difference and not with me in me pointing it out. Your statement "I just don't understand why you think you should be so careful to Nikos" implies that somebody thinks we should be careful to Nikos, i.e. be careful to not hurt his feelings. At least that is how I read it, and I don't think it is true. >> Be as blunt as you want with him, but please recognize that >> troll baiting /does not work/ as a means of making the troll go away >> and only serves to further degrade the list. > > It's not clear to me what you are precisely saying here.

No. Flaming carries an emotional response, which signals to the troll that they've struck a nerve and can help incite them. A blunt, non-emotional response is less likely to end up functioning as positive reinforcement in that way. That said, the best response to a troll is still no response at all. > Do you think being blunt is a good way in keeping a welcoming and > postive atmosphere in this group? I think it's better than being openly hostile. And speaking for myself, if somebody has a problem with my own behavior then I would prefer that they be blunt about it than cover it up with a false friendliness. > I am not so sure it would be counter-productive. A joint flaming > of a troll can be an effective way to increase coherence in a > group. Well, if flaming ever becomes the prevailing culture of the list, then I'm out.
