Which to me seems to be the probable intended goal of the provocateur.
Campaigns wiki is an exciting opportunity.
Some groups see distributed models of working with ideas as a threat.
I feel that CH Rob J King seems to me no more than a troll intending to
disrupt the function of the Campaigns wiki as a whole.
There is a difference between posting contextually about ideas and threads,
and aiming to offend and damage as a core purpose.
One is dialogue, the other is trolling. It is basically a kind of targeted
spam.
Distinguishing between them, as a group and as individuals is a part of
making something worthwhile in a distributed context.
I appreciate that filtering this kind of 'spam' is a difficult issue in an
open context.
I am happy to filter this person to trash for my own purposes.
If the group is considering filtering or moderating the person as a group
act then I am +1 for that to happen.
