How hard have you looked? Have you, yourself, tried to create a safe place and failed?

> In one breath, you stated your desire to have "trolls" quickly banished, while in a more recent post, you mentioned "don't feed the trolls", which seems to indicate simple non-response as a tactic - reinforcing my view that there are no pat answers.

This is why I return to the simple concept of sanctioning behaviors as they occur rather than evaluating and categorizing people first. Intent is not always a factor to be considered in determining the civility of someone's words. However, when there is no moderator to police language, members of the community might then choose to behave in ways that disarm trolls.
