You've linked that thread multiple times, and I have already read it. I see them disagreeing with you on what constitutes trolling. I see them continuing to disagree with you because they don't understand how your definition of trolling is actually trolling. I see a debate between people with differing opinions who are probably never going to have the same opinions, but are continuing to try to make their opinions understood by the other party because that's what people do.

I do not see anything in that thread that indicates that they completely understand your point of view and are just arguing for shits and giggles. I do not see anything in that thread that makes them disagreeing with you there any different than me disagreeing with you now.

I see things in that thread that sound like they were defending the right of people to use the info they get from b_p and other jf comms to make other people's lives hell. In this instance, CC, by attempting to derail her writing career based on, as of right now, a hypothetical plagiarism charge. The b_p posts have already had a noticable repercussion, if you look at the amazon listing for City of Bones -- "What do customers ultimately buy after viewing items like this? 32% buy The Secret Country (The Secret Country Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Pamela Dean".

KV didn't get away with it, and her plagiarism, AFAIK, was much less blatant than CC's proven plagiarism is. Why should anyone a) think that CC would be allowed to get away scot-free once her book is published and readers start comparing, and b) take things into their own hands, based SOLELY on the info at b_p?

Every time I look at that thread, I go "buh?" because it sounds like they, and others, are defending people's right to do that -- and again AFAIK, that's never been okay at f_w, and pyratejenni's made it clear it's not okay here either.
