Thanks Phillip and other mods.  It's wonderful to know that even if trolls come here, there is a remedy to the problem, and that they can't anonymously destroy what has been created here.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks Phillip, David, and Victoria.  You guys are so quick, many of us never even had to read the garbage posted!  It's nice to have so many great folks watching all our backs.  There's no place like home.

Good work, David!  Yay team. 

Phillip, I'm going to sticky this for now.  Unsticky if you prefer.

Well done, David - our eagle eyed Neo.

And good job everybody else.  Not nice that we've been invaded but very reassuring that something gets DONE about it. Thanks Phillip.
Chut up!

Goodness. I went out with the sheep for a few hours, got 'em bedded down, came back to see that we had an attack and that it's already fixed. You guys are great!  :-*

What's the troll's name, so we can be on the lookout?

And how the heck did you find out what school he goes to? Amazing.

His handle was edited out.  When someone logs in here, I can see their IP address as well as who it is registered to.  I tracked it down to the dorm computers at SUNY Binghamton.  Because I logged the whole thing, I am sending the whole mess to the abuse address at the school, who should be able to track down exactly what dorm room was involved. 

IMDb just suspends accounts and they start new ones.  I go much, much further.

(New policy - no reason to feed egos so I have stricken the handle from the record. -- Phil)

Wow! Way to take care of bidness!
Was it a random troll or was he targeting the former IMDb'ers specifically?
Also, I just tried to post and it said I had just posted and needed to wait for a few seconds. Is that new because of these dang trolls or have I just never posted so quickly before? :)
...then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get.
