Now let's hear no more of this matter.

Amen,

This episode took the wind out of all the gentle trolls in this news groups. I know most of the "xxxxx is Jewish" contingent are simply having fun with the gullible, but it was getting a little tiresome. Now any further coment on the subject can be marked as augumentative trolling, and promptly ignored.

I think that the Seinfeld writers addressed this issue directly thanks to this newsgroup! Could be???

Yes, but we still don't know if Ruthie Cohen the cashier at Monk's is Jewish :)

There seems to be a broadening definition of the word "troll" on Usenet. Lately, anyone who has an unpopular opinion and is not a regular is a troll. Used to be that trolls were people who dropped in a group once and tried to incite a fight by posting inflammatory, confrontational stuff. If the Seinfeld Jewishness question is something you find inflammatory or confrontational, I suggest you chill out a tad.

I posted here once on Jewishness and quoted an article from a scholarly journal supporting the Jewish scenario (except for Kramer). I've got news for you: I'm not a troll, and, actually, there are not, as far as I know, any trolls in this group. It's not the kind of subject matter that attracts trolls; try alt.politics.* or alt.atheism, or soc.culture.* for trolls.

That's exactly why Joe used the term "_gentle_ troll". A gentle troll doesn't seek to inflame, only to resurrect old, boring, endless, bandwidth-consuming threads just to watch people go through the same reflexive postings over and over again.
