I agree with Shifty, there is no point in feeding the trolls..
All they want is attention, and negative attention is as good as any attention. So just starve them out..
I intend to keep flying like I always have, and don't pay any attention to whatever negative behaviour that might come. I don't have any personal issues with any players in this game, and I like to keep it that way. To wind up in a discussion with someone about matters like this is never a good idea, just ignore it all together and consentrate the focus on having FUN. After all that's what we are paying for here..
