For those who are using GG for whatever reason that is pretty cool... and
reduces the harm of Carroll's nonsense. Still, for anyone who just lurks it
will likely chase them off.

Carroll uses GG because no other provider would let him get away with his
nonsense.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

>> […] did you know about his GoogleGroups Spam Remover:

Unfortunately, as Google Groups works presently, it can only be a spam 
_filter_ (one that marks spam and formats spam messages, reducing their 
opacity by default), _not_ a remover: Messing too much with Google Groups’ 
display causes the infinite scrolling to break (see inline comment).

>> […] and you have a lifetime of ( mostly ) carefree posting.

By which you mean (seemingly) carefree *for* *yourself*, as in “I don’t care 
about the problems that my behavior causes for others” or “I don’t care 
about others at all because I am a mindbogglingly stupid, inconsiderate, 
anti-social asshole”.

If you have a Greasemonkey-compatible browser extension installed, like 
Tampermonkey, installation of the userscript can be as simple as selecting 
“Raw” there :)
