Quite frankly, I don't get the fuss about people who post because they want attention.

That has got to be the stupidest thing to bitch about because the only purpose ANYONE posts is to get attention. Unless you're Never, who makes threads that say DON'T READ THIS THREAD!!! :) heeehee.

The reason I post is because I have thoughts and YOU CAN'T SHUT ME UP MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHsnortHAHAHAHAHAHAAHMUAHAHAHAHAHAA I'm am evil that way. I like it when people pay attention to my posts and reply to them. My feelings get a little bruised when no one does. After all I went through all the trouble of having a thought and then all the additional trouble of typing it out and then editing it so it could be understood. And then I actually post the thing. I mean really, that deserves SOME attention? Don't you think? I can see the troll side of the issue, starting a trillion threads and posting one word replies in quadriplicate on each thread on the board gets really really old. Don't worry tho, the enthusiasm wears off, and we quit doing that. :) I did!

And glory hounding? The gee I'm great threads? We know that you are great and lovely and wonderful and sexy and super and adorable and cute and precious and a hottie and gorgeous and witty and beautiful and clever and... Next? Wait, I started that one... Nevermind. :D I'm great. (a legend in my own mind) Blah.

Troll stalking is a fun game. I enjoy doing it. I don't seem to have my own personal trolls like Nekkie and Shila and Bobtoad and Latina and DCL and Womanlover. So I hope you don't mind if I join Expertise in stalking yours.

In short, you don't have to tell us how great you are, we'll figure that out. You don't have to worry about posting a reply to every response in every thread. Save it up, the thread isn't going anywhere, and post one reply to lots of people. Of course, there are threads where its more of a party chatroom atmosphere than a bulletin board.

If you have problems with trolls on your threads, just call Expertise and MuffKill, we don't have our own trolls so we have to steal yours. :) Or refer to Weird Harold's Coventry thread. The man is a genius.

I lost the whole point of this about four paragraphs ago. *sigh* And the MRI proves that my brain is really there too.
 
Damn you muff... just when I want a really long discussion how you me and my trolls can have a twosome I can't find you anywhere! DCL, that sucks!

What was the point of this? oh yes I agree Wierd Harold is a genius... now just if he could relase DOM!

Can someone please explain to me why I still have trolls when I hardly ever post anymore?
 
You Got My Attention!

'Morning Killer, early to be on the board isn't it?
Glad you posted though, I had a reply for you on another thread about what to call a 'willie'. You said that you had problems with member.
I popped into the library this morning and looked in the Dict. of Slang. It appears that it comes from 1840's as WH said, and refers to 'the member for cockshire'. The member being a ref to Member of Parliament: cock - I'm sure that you know about those: a shire is an area of land.

Sorry to plant this here, I couldn't find the proper thread - search is down again!
 
Good morning Hunny, how are you feeling? I think you probably still have trolls because trolls are stupid creatures with limited attention spans. They fixate on a few people & never give up until they (the trolls) get caught outside in sunlight & are turned to stone. The problem with internet trolls is they never leave the house, so they never see the sunshine. Don't let them get to you, they aren't worth the time & effort. Have a good weekend, hope you get to feeling better.

Trolls look for a soft touch
 
You know, I think this would be a great thread to state my appreciation of Killer and what she brings to the board.

That would be awkward though.
Nice thread hun.
 
All trolls are not bad....

They are just like any of us , only shorter and they have those big nasty
looking warts on their face with hairs growing out of them. So they live under bridges. So what?

When I had that post about rounding them up and hanging them, I was innundated by trolls. After I got to know them I found that I got along with some, but not others. Just like people that aren't trolls. So for me, I call 'em as I see 'em.

This post was edited, as due to Rupert, "Head of Quality Control" it wasn't up to the desired standard. So i shall go away and practice.

Rupert, get a sense of humour!

There is nothing like a good post for bringing out the trolls, and that was nothing like a good post.

Read WeirdHarold thread you might learn something. Only might!
