It appears we have an OCamal troll on one of the Haskell mailing lists.
You know the type - blatently saying incendary things to try to get
attention. ("Most examples of Haskell use in industry are actually
fake", etc.)
Some people responded with blow-by-blow counter-arguments. Which,
really, is just what a troll wants. Most people responded with "who is
this guy, and can we get rid of him please?"
One person said "I guess trolls are just an unfortunate side-effect of
becoming popular."
In other words "we get trolls = we're succeeding".
LMAO!

Wahaay! Another troll. We really are winning. :-D
(Only kidding. But it did amuse me that somebody could think that
trolling was a good sign...)

Trolls think that trolling is a good sign, about themselves.
