And some don’t have to adapt because they are entitled to do whatever they want.
Okay, you win.
Enough.
Should’ve got a tuneup for that eighth cylinder.
I love you - you know that, right?
Oh snap, banned. Good, I wanted that to happen. I also have some other requests for banning. Who should I PM them to?
But … but he wasn’t touching you! He wasn’t touchingyou! Hewasn’ttoucingyou!Hewasn’ttoucingyou!Hewasn’ttoucingyou!
Thanks.
Have I ever told you how much I really, really like you?
Lynn Bodoni is usually the one who says she’s keeping the list.
Meh. Boring.
I liked his brand of crazy.
The people that like train wrecks never seem to be the ones in the train at the time.
Given the nature of the thread (and issue), I think it’s important to note that merely disagreeing is not trolling, nor is crazy. This was different from both.
To get back on the original topic, I usually have no idea who I’m talking to in any thread, so I could be arguing with them in one thread and chatting nicely with them at the same time in another thread.
I require chocolate and/or cash, though.
Which is one of the nice things about this message board.
The Dope - a group of people united in their desire for interesting discussions, the urge to get off the perfect one-liner, and an irrational hatred of the mods.

PS - 
I see neither chocolate nor scotch, so obviously this is not a serious discussion.
I, on the other hand, am making a Little List.
Are we talking Usher’s Green Stripe or Glenlivet?
Back off I saw her first.
To answer Quasi’s original questions:
-
Most trolls seem to be returning disgruntled posters. They are not patient enough to do a slow burn. They come in and start breaking shit. The first indicator is when they start pushing every Doper button. All of us who have been here a while know which topics have been hotly argued over and over. When I newbie comes on and starts hitting every button one right after another its obvious they are a troll. Now some newbies just come on a bit strong at first. Those that can learn to play well with others stick around. Others wind up being banned. I don’t consider those people trolls. Just people who don’t fit on a moderated board.
-
There are only a few posters that have built up a bad reputation in my head. The vast majority I can have a heated discussion with on one subject but have a nice conversation on another. Only a couple do I try not to engage. I ignore no one.
Total bullshit. I’m not irrational.
I’m not saying we don’t have a few misfits.

Shodan
I actually don’t know the reason for the banning, if that’s what you’re talking about. I just liked the posters crazy posts. I dunno if he was actually teh evil. Was he?
