A troll outing for 1420Vel.GN

[Mullinator]

I have a nomination. Forgive me if I have missed someone else running this person up the flagpole already, but I feel this has to be said. Drumroll please.......the winner of our New Troll of the Day is 1420Vel.GN. A couple of his topics to check out, which sure seem pointless to me.

And finally, the thread wasn't his, but the reply sure has the odor of a troll all over it. [url]http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000266.html{/url}

So, am I right or have a falsely accused someone new to the rules of the game?

He asks an easily answered question, then has the nerve to say he already knew what John 3;16 refered to? He then follows up with

Could it mean that they love the game enough to give their son?

Looks to me like you found one. Congratulations. Your cookie is in the mail.

You say "cheesy" like that's a BAD thing.

Well, I clearly need work at posting an URL.

Now that I look at it, my topic sounds more like I am planning a field trip for trolls. I suppose I could arrange to take them either to a grammar school or on a cruise in the middle of a hurricane. Unfortunately, one trip would go over their heads and the other would get me thrown in jail.

Mullinator,
1. Give the kid a chance...we need to see a few more posts before determining his orientation.

2. my bronchitus is flaring up and it hurts to laugh, so please refrain from cracks like:

I almost had to call an ambulance you bastard!

Get it?
He killed Kelli! YOU BASTARD!

ooooo the Paaaain!

I don't really think he's so terrible. Check out his responses on the [URL:http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000404.html]Why I'm Boycotting Walmart[/url], [URL:http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000213-2.html]Gun Control?[/url], [URL:http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000254.html]Too easy to get guns nowadays[/url], and [URL:http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000340.html]Second Ammendment Infringement[/url]. While I don't totally agree with him on these issues, it doesn't seem to me that he is trolling.

If these don't work, then I just give up!

Of course the AC question was in MPSIMS, seem like the place for such a question.

The John 3:16 question was an attempt to understand something that I did not understand. Yes I looked it up and knew what it said, but could not form an understanding of why it appears at sporting events - so I asked.

You chumps need to get a life! BTW the post that started this was misinterprted by Mullinator - DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

[Czarcasm]

Where the HELL do you get off insulting such a fine person as....oh, yeah.

Welcome to the Pit, gladtameetcha!

[Mullinator]

I misinterpreted this?

My 1st post in the pit - hope I do it right.
Aliens? You must be nuts;there are no fuckin aliens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless it is some quote from a movie or you typed this instead of something else you meant to say, it seems rather hard to read it incorrectly.

[1420Vel.GN]

I believe that you are capable of reading; understanding is something different

I did not claim that we are alone in the universe

[zoony]

the winner of our New Troll of the Day is 1420Vel.GN.

So, now we've got a "Troll Patrol" whose solemn duty it is to seek and "out" people who's questions we don't like? Who died and made you Inspector?

I'm not gonna stand up and vouch for the intellectual integrity of good 'ole 1420, but, by Bog he's got as much right to ask seemingly pointless questions as anyone else. If ya don't like it, you and Diane can get together, form a mutual bitchiness society, and maybe talk to the Los Moderatores to start up your own Censorship Board.

Sheesh! If ya think he's an asshole, call him an asshole, for chrissakes! Otherwise, save your pithy little snorts-up-the-sleeve for your mom.

Mullinator, what's the point of all this? You read two or three posts by someone and then run to the pit in an effort to decry him? Thanks, but there are actually some people on this board that really don't take this that seriously and need to be notified whenever you come across a few posts with which you don't agree. The pit, at least from what I understand, is a place to go either when arguments get way too heated for any other board or a place to speak out against people or things in society you have developed a deep seated antipathy for over a long period of time. Look at your post! It isn't even really a flame. You're even somewhat polite about it. "Forgive me if I missed someone..." People who run around on newsgroups, forums, and message boards crying, "This guy's a troll! That girl's a troll!" need to lighten the hell up or at least find a hobby with more human contact. Remember that you are not obligated to read the posts of people you find annoying.

[1420Vel.GN]

Thanks for the vote of confidence people.

I've been roped in to some stupid posting in other forms, but it seems that this area is really full of it - I'm beginning to believe that this forum is a waist of time. I doubt I'll be back.

As long as it doesn't go to your waste...

Well, how can I now possibly live with myself. I want to apologize to all SDMB posters for being so callous and thoughtless to have driven out a worthwhile and insightful denizen like 1420. I now feel the need to deliver 40 lashes with a wet noodle to my own backside and then promptly restrict myself from bad thoughts regarding 1420. I also promise to send him a complete book of homonyms to avoid any of those embarrassing waste/waist issues again.

*muttering* Damn it...I am starting to admire him...must resist the dark side!**

[kellibelli]

oops...I meant Satan...but Mully, if you want, I will delive those lashes.....

[Mullinator]

Breathless with anticipation.
A little giddy with the thought.
Must breathe deeply, control myself.
Focus, focus....

It is because of posts like Kelli's that no one walks into my office anymore.

[jane_says]

I am not a "pit person", so please take this with a grain of salt. But just this once, I couldn't resist putting in my two cents.
I haven't been here long and I haven't posted often. I'm not a regular or popular poster by anyone's standards. However, I'm sticking in my nose where it doesn't belong on this one. I read a couple of this guy's posts, and IMHO, he doesn't seem that bad. This whole "troll" thing seems pretty out of control though. Palidors and The Fucking Horn Dog were goofballs, but I have seen a lot of really nasty comments from regulars here (The Troll Patrol?) who seem to want to rid this area of anyone they dislike, or don't already know. It's no skin off my teeth, but it seems that many folks just don't want to give anyone new a chance. The SDMB is one of the most intelligent, diverse and interesting places I have found on the Net. It is a shame that a few elitists want to turn this into private property, available only to those they deem their intellectual equals.
Go ahead and flame me. Perhaps I should have stayed out of this, but this is something that really bothers me. I truly like coming here, and most everything I have read here has been enlightening or entertaining. But for a few mean-spirited, boorish hall monitors, it would be a lot more enjoyable.

[kellibelli]

Check the dates jane...we all agreed with chief crunch...a weekago! The thread was dead, and if 1420had not started flaming again, nobody would have even remembered.

Even I said to give him a chance...he wasnt that obnoxious or anything, just a bit misguided by the looks of his posts.

But now, here he is, stirring the pot. Jane, he obviously likes the attention- otherwise he wouldnt have returned after more than a week just to head right for the pit and pick a fight. He doesnt bother me, but I think he is trying to stir up some action among the TM.....

I guess time will tell.

The only real troll on this site is C#3.

You can tell by his warts & scales.

[kellibelli]

And responses like yours keep me from bringing an automatic weapon to work and eliminating all my stress.

Thanks for the chuckles.
