GD is gradually losing me as a reader/responder. When I look through the list of subjects, I feel like I need to bathe in strong lye. But I'll surely fight to the last to keep trolls out of the BOG.

I'm sure most people know exactly what they're doing when they barge in here farting nonstop. A rare few newbies, perhaps well meaning ones, may not at first realize where they are. For their sake I think it would be best to begin OPs with "BARACK OBAMA GROUP" and maybe a brief statement as to the rules. Then land hard on repeat offenders.
