in reply to reap, troll-feeding of reaped troll

DNFTT.

this amounts to a silent change in policy

It really doesn't. The policy has not been changed, silently or otherwise.

Troll-feeding is anti-social and self-defeating but it isn't a good reason for consideration. Down-vote and move on.

    Silently ignoring a new practice means paving the way to acceptance.

    The policy doesn't even mention "trolls", only

    To reap a highly offensive posting. PerlMonks is meant to be family friendly. And perhaps more importantly, we'd like to keep PerlMonks off of corporate blacklists which would prevent worthy monks from participating while at work.

    I already explained why I did what I did, but I'm not concentrating on this post alone.
