Here's my short list of rules for this NG, which I will try to follow:

1) criticizing posters' ideas, logic, facts, etc., is completely appropriate,
but ad hominem arguments, name calling, etc., is inappropriate;

2) political comments unrelated to food history (as important as they may be
otherwise) are inappropriate here;

3) civility should be our basic operating value (although I understand that
we're all tempted to violate this on occasion).

For those who violate the above, my response will be to ignore their comments.

That's more or less how I work. I have an excellent troll soup recipe,
if anyone wants it... Very ancient, historical recipe, at least six
months old!

Unfortunately, there are no 'rules' for unmoderated newsgroups.
Ignore/killfile trolls and idiots, and do one's best to be a model
participant. Like fishing, one has to discard a lot of garbage one
brings up, and appreciate the big flounder. :-)

Coming from the home country of trolls, I would bet such a soup would
taste quite moldy and perhaps also soil-like or maybe some
clay-taste?.

Read the stories of Asbjørnsen and Moe about the trolls, illustrated
by Kittelsen :-) !!
