Interesting, I've been on RAT for over a year and have kept track of the Overwhelming majority of the threads, and haven't noticed even slight trolling against anyone really.
Then may I suggest you read my posting, especially the one titled “The Roman Legion and the Cosmos.” This is a good example of how some members on this group employ ridicule as a means of discussion. However, it does not stop there. Years ago I also received an email from someone pretending to be a RAT moderator telling me to delete my postings. Being new to the group I complied not knowing any better, but all I could do was delete my dialogue and not those of the responders. This made me wonder why the RAT administrators couldn’t just delete the whole discussion if it was upsetting to them.
I’ve had personal insults hurled my way which were not warranted at the time. I have one member who whenever I post likes to make indirect comments about trolling. I know he is referring to me and I do not like it as I do not troll. Another member, who posting has been deleted, stated RAT was a good forum until I came along. This personal attack occurred after I refused his offline email to share my research with him. RAT’s claims it is about “open minded discussions” but so far what I have experienced when I offer evidence it is that it is not even acknowledge and is replaced by ridicule or putting words into my mouth then twisting it in some poor attempt to discredit me.
