To all
Sorry about the snappy temper past few weeks just read some topics and noticed a few dumb%$& answers from me. Don't mean to offend anyone. Have been one stressed out SOB for about a month. Goin home to the South for the weekend, hang out with my old man, all will be well by Monday. Good weekend to all. Seth
Respect those who protect us now just as you would those who died for us in the past.

there was a really mean dude in here yesterday. he was picking on everyone but mosty CGR, from what i could tell. she was in a "picture posting" mood and got stoned by "DavidNunn" who is no longer a member after some harsh statements. I guess Tomahawk finally told the troll where to go. [:)]

i seen the troll yesterday! i'm sure he'll b back.
A troll is: *From Urbandictionary*
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.
Tomahawk,
No need to apologize...you did right by defending CGR.
Too bad the thread w/her pics was poofed.[:(]

Simple Vandals or a Unique Social Movement?
A Psycho-Sociological Discourse on Internet Trolls

7 - Conclusion
Current conventional wisdom has it that the solution to stopping trolling from degrading civil discourse is to ignore it, yet our studies strongly suggest that not only will this be ineffectual, it may exacerbate the problem. Subjects displayed a degree of hubris usually unseen outside of clinical environments, yet the work of Skinner provides for the alleviation of such excessive egoism. Applying his work to the present day issues involves not ignoring, but challenging the assertions of trolls, forcing them into a situation whereby the only possible outcome is their concession to being of inferior intellect to those targeted by the initial attack. This constant negative reinforcement can only lead to a significant reduction in the periodicity of attempted trolling.

Now, this is a novel idea.

Thanks HBBG,
I did see it start, but thought it was pretty much shut down by the time I signed out,........guess not.
There are some pretty pathetic folks out there.[xx(]
I know giving trolls hell is counter productive.
BUT FUN!!!
I am guilty of not being able to help myself.
The trolls of late are not nearly as fun as some of the classics of a few years ago.
Cloop and his many names was one of the best.
This is an interesting article on the sociological discourse of internet trolls:
