I purchased a Modern Drummer
magazine recently (because one of my favorite drummers,
Neal Peart is featured
this month - cookie alert on those links) and was quite
surprised by the Editor's Overview. Apparently,
trolling has reached the drummer's world. But
that's a misleading statement - trolls have always existed,
and the context of the following snippet from said editor
(Ron Spagnardi) is online forums from manufacturers' sites.
I thought you might appreciate what Ron had to say on the
subject, and more importantly, what he suggests:
To those who choose to abuse the privilege of forum
participation, how about making an effort contribute
something really meaningful on occasion? To those
who profess to be serious players, but contribute nothing,
just imagine what miraculous improvements you could make
as a player if spent on tenth of the time you're foolishly
wasting ... practicing!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
