While I believe that new blood is a good thing and that the monastery should not be a stagnant fixture, I don't think that means we have to put up with deliberate rudeness. And I do disagree with the deletion of the last two posts by the troll (but I didn't check the anagram).

We don't want to be like the monasteries that were raided by vikings because we're easy targets. We should be accepting of those that have something to offer, whether that is something to teach, or the willingness to learn. If someone comes in like a troll and then wants to become a member in good standing, let them reenter under a different moniker. With the setup as it is, that's easy to do and will keep people from being prejudiced over old flames.

    Personally, I would be more impressed by someone who stuck with the original moniker and, though careful participation, worked to overcome their initial reputation.

    It would be difficult in this case, but is still possible.

    Throwing away the tainted moniker seems a little too much like a cop-out.
