Comment Re:Has trolling gone downhill? (Score 1) 382

When did the definition of troll change from "someone who is rational, polite, intelligent, and articulate, but who deliberately advances a minority opinion or deliberately misunderstands an issue in order to enjoy the anger and argument this causes from others" to "someone abusive"?

It didn't. Or rather, it has always been so. Trolls are a subset of abusive folk.

It won't work. You also need one more thing: a sender that pays attention to the out of office message. When I see an email which has a subject line that says "Out of office", I don't bother reading it. I just delete it. Obviously the recipient got the email; they just won't respond right away.

Technology isn't the issue here - obviously you don't need special software to auto-delete emails.

The real issue is that Daimler is allowing its employees to do this without fear of reprisals from management.

Yeah. That'll last until the first upper manager misses an important email because he forgot to reset the out of office flag.
