After considerable thought..yes, the trolls have come face to face with the
consequences of their actions.
I won't miss them either. It's been an immeasurable waste of time weeding through Treads encountering endless & pointless keyboard cerebrally challenged anti-social inbreds. My only satisfaction is
Karma is a Bitch
or
the Seeds we Sow today will sprout eventually
. Poor babies..
"Trolls aspire to violence, to the level of trouble they can cause in an environment. They want it to kick off. They want to promote antipathetic emotions of disgust and outrage, which morbidly gives them a sense of pleasure."^ a b Adams, Tim (24 July 2011). "How the internet created an age of rage". London: The Guardian (The Observer).

Personally, I'm going to miss the boards. Yes, there are many times the threads are hijacked by ridiculous trolls but I just quit reading their junk and press on. Truth is, it's not much fun to just read one-sided fan-boy postings on their favorite shows. There's a need for different takes and opinions to further the conversation. I'll grant you that when the thread veers off on a stupid political/racial rant that has nothing to do with the show it was irritating but some of the most creative stuff I've read on IMDB were the comments that poked fun at the show. And if there was ever any one show that deserves to be ruthlessly mocked it's FTWD.
I have watched every episode and the live show that followed it. I had high hopes for FTWD when it launched but it didn't take long after the episodes ended that had me wondering what the hell just happened. Eventually, and I've said this before, the only redeeming thing was to come to the board after the show and read the hilarious posts raking the show over the coals. I'll watch every episode in the upcoming third season too but it won't be the same without the board. I'll watch because I love the absurd, I embrace the absurd. But one thing is for sure, I never championed to shut down the voices of anyone that differed from me and certainly not at the cost of losing my ability to speak out too. -
