That's just sick.

In any case, I see trolling as a cost of having an open forum. I would venture a guess that trolls rear their heads occasionally in almost every online community, and there's no reason why a FIRST robotics forum should be any different in that respect. The rep points system generally prevents trolls from having a significant impact on the perception of the teams or individuals being trolled. Most of what is written here is productive.
