Keep in mind, the "Worthless hole" designation is subjective.
I think one thing people often forget, is that you don't always get to choose what "the community" does with your comments/forum/website(/cafe/bar/restaurant/social club/sporting team/whatever).
There's clearly some "worth" to the people trolling and derailing the conversations _you_ would rather turned out differently.
(I'm on the cusp of "giving up" on a web community I've been involved with for ~14 years, partly because they've changed - but truthfully at least as much because _I've_ changed…)
