But, see, I've seen your troll tags and they're helpful to me. I tend to take bait pretty consistently and the troll tag was a nice reminder for me. I'm not sure if that makes it any better, but it did offer some benefit.

It's an interesting situation because there are times when I find some of the articles posted by a user to be interesting and times when they're not. When another user feels the same way those tags seem to work to my benefit.

i think the short term, user controlled solution is to come up with a "neutral" tag that can be filtered, but I'm not enough of a word person to come up with something.
