When are we going to get rid of the political cross-posting from this
group and get back to the topic of GARDENING?

The political cross-posts and various flames and trolls are not from
the regular contributors to u.r.g. but from a group of people who
delight in spoiling other people's fun.

Really, the only thing we can do is to ignore them and hope they will
go away. They thrive when old (and young) fogeys like us take umbrage
and shake our metaphorical sticks at them.

Of course, if you really know what you are doing you might be able to
track them down and report them for abuse to their ISPs but they
probably do all their dirty work from anonymous accounts and cyber
cafes, in which case there is nothing you can do because they aren't
breaking any laws.

It's a consequence of anonymity and power without responsibility or
answerability!
