First off, apology accepted.
Second, regarding the portion quoted above:
Getting rid of "trolls" is really kind of a secondary goal.
Let me explain with an analogy. I know people who own land/homes in rural areas that are infested with prairie dogs. To keep the animals away from the house, one in particular will get out one of his high powered rifles and shoot them when they get too close. Shooting a couple of them keeps the rest at a distance.
For some (and some will find this apalling), it's also good target practice and entertainment.
Many refer to the annual influx of fans into this board as trolls. I prefer to call them prairie dogs.
