Nonetheless, we've beaten it to death on Groklaw itself (PJ and her cabal must gotten RSI containing that one), on SCOX, CKX, and now here.  Wittingly or unwittingly, I'm starting to believe that PJ is playing us here.  She'll make an outrageous statement that rubs salt in the wounds and gets us stirred again.  Then, of course, the anonymous GL trolls show up.  I'm happy to say that their behaivor has been far more intemperate than ours but if this goes on much longer then it can't be healthy.  

The Potential Recruits are mostly fulla crap but they make one good point.  Most of the posting activity seems to be refutation of GL trolls.  And from the writing styles, there can't be that many of them.  tim_ransom and pencil_nebula are almost certainly two (one?) of them.  We aren't going to smash them into silence with the facts.  At some point, we need to handle them differently.  Brief sarcasm and contempt is best here.  Give them dry bones to chew on if we can't refrain from feeding them.  Once isolated after a long period of being used for comic relief, just mod them to oblivion.  Let them scream we're no better than PJ. They certainly won't have cause to think they haven't been heard.  Any anyway, their "wisdom" will still be there for anyone who really wants to be subjected to it. PJ tends her garden and I think we have better ways to tend ours.

It isn't realistic to expect discussion of PJ to go away.  She's made a lot of people really angry and the wounds are fresh and well rubbed with salt. I think the best way to get it down to a dull roar would be a final release of some kind.  Perhaps a more detailed article of the type Mikey has already written that goes back to when the editorial tone changed and then up to present.  Let's just detail EVERYTHING and invite our trollish little PRs to bring it on.  I have no doubt we can count on the trolls to make PJ and Groklaw look worse than they already are and great fun can be had hammering them with the facts one last time. We really get it out of our systems and then Groklaw can simply be the Other Site.   At some point, it'd be nice see routine GL carping get the IPW equivalent of paperwads thrown.  We can always re-open a contained bitching session when she does something else foolish.
