If no one has done so already I would like to show my respect to Justin Vacula for the work he did today.

Sounds like applying the concept of karma for practical common benefit to me.

Ridiculing someones argument, tearing apart their irrational logic, etc. without resorting to demeaning personal attacks is not trolling and is completely legitimate. And I agree with this as well.

JackRaynor said that trolling/internet harassment "wasn't of concern" and that while he didn't find it "morally positive" he didn't find it "morally negative" either.

I don't see simple trolling as "immoral". I see it as more of an internet sub-culture. I mean, when not reading here or working, I spend quite some time on "Memebase" (formerly known as "The Art of Trolling").

That was why I responded to Jack's comments regarding trolling. When one says that such behavior is "morally neutral" it opens the doors for guilt by association. I am not saying that we need to actively condemn every instance of trolling targeted at those we disagree with, but we also shouldn't do...

What I was mentioning about her had nothing to do with PZ at all. It was definitely not a visiting the sins sort of thing. It purely was about something she wrote unconnected at all to PZ.
