I have never flamed anyone before, but, I feel the need just to bring up a name. “The Fucking Horn Dogg” Really, I don’t need to say any more. With a name like that, you don’t have to say anything to flame them, just repeat their name. Maybe, after repeating the name three times, he (or she) dissappears. pat ---

Yeah, I got really depressed this afternoon when I saw yet another troll. How many now in the last couple of days? I decided to become a Poster to get into intelligent conversations and relax a little bit with the ‘mundane’ stuff. It’s easy for me to stay out of flame wars, but it is difficult to avoid the ubiquitous troll who posts to old messages and inserts itself into inappropriate places. I know what they want is a flaming reaction. I’m not going to give them that. Earlier, I was able to joke a little bit about ‘feeding trolls,’ but now I just wish they would disappear. Y’all who are good flamers, go get 'em. BTW, if my screen name in all caps puts y’all off, my apologies; I didn’t even realize I had done that until my profile was set. I tried to change it; I could change everything on my profile _but_\* my screen name. Talk to y’all tomorrow. ---

Oh fuck it… It was supposed to be a picture of a troll! ARRRGGGHH!! {I’m removing the unsuccessful attempts, but I feel that Satan had good intentions when he wanted to post a picture of a troll, and I want him to get credit for it.–Lynn} [Note: This message has been edited by Lynn Bodoni] ---

Pssst…Satan…if you type “img src” instead of “img scr” it’ll work better. 😉 [http://home.sol.no/~birgerro/troll.jpg](http://home.sol.no/~birgerro/troll.jpg) * * * “Eppur, si muove!” - Galileo Galilei ---

{Where are the moderators? Where are the administrators? } Well, sometimes we sleep, and sometimes we go to the doctor, and sometimes we just live our lives. Seriously, if you see a non-technical problem, REPORT IT TO ME! You can reach me at [LynnBodoni@aol.com](mailto:LynnBodoni@aol.com), [Peppercini@aol.com](mailto:Peppercini@aol.com), [SDStaffLyn@aol.com](mailto:SDStaffLyn@aol.com), or [lynnbodoni@earthlink.net](mailto:lynnbodoni@earthlink.net). I check the AOL LynnBodoni address at least four times a day, and the others I generally check a couple of times a week. One note: I don’t do technical problems. If the board is screwed up, I don’t know what will fix it. The best I can do is forward your message to someone who can fix it. Oh, by the way…to fix the side-scroll in this thread, I’d have to delete that troll picture, and I just can’t bring myself to do that. Lynn/SDStaff Lynn For the Straight Dope ---

I apologize, Lynn. I wasn’t really busting anyone’s chops. Just spouting. Kind of a “Where’s Superman?” kind of thing. BTW, the GQ thread isn’t taking…. I’M KIDDING! And thanks for leaving the troll picture. * * * Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine ---

Is that picture from Busch Gardens near Tampa? (Inquiring minds and people writing books about trolls need to know). ---
