Actually, Dudley, I was talking about the people who discover, shortly after delurking, that they’re too smart for this board. They find SDMB very irritating, and say so repeatedly. I just don’t want to make them uncomfortable.
And hypothetical, I didn’t name anyone.
If we stop feeding the trolls, they will break into our garbage cans at night.
Rilch, you go back to the AOL days. Did we refrain from feeding Cyberian54? SSChevy55? Lockean? PerkyDan?
Do you seriously think that with ten times the active members we’re better able to control ourselves, now?
Can I get the name of your “distrributor”?
Never mind you. How did I miss it???
Ok, but how do I get you to stop doing that?
How did everybody miss that one of the things was a “tootbrush” (sic)?
I could probably be distracted by a bottle of tequila left on your back porch. If you also leave some leather, I might even make you some shoes.
I think “ignoring the troll” ideas tend to go too far. Sometimes even the knowledge that they are able to say whatever and force others not to react is as much a delight as forcing them to react.
I say just enjoy yourself. Poke fun, if you want. Argue, if you want. Then when they get banned at least you can say you had fun.
As I pointed out, you named the trolls as a group. I’m sure they know who they are. I notice you chose to ignore my point that letting them know just how bothered you are by their actions, you yourself are feeding them.
Wait, I thought that was elves?
You know, those were really brownies, not elves. Elves don’t do shoes, brownies make shoes.
If you kept your head out of Auto’s rectum, you would know these things.

Better inform the Grimms.
They’re dead Q.E.D..
They made a simple mistake in the folktales is all. Happens to the best writers.

I Michigan the Mackinac Bridge connects the upper and Lower peninsulas. They call all the people who live under the bridge (lower P. ) trolls. So we are trolls by an obscure definition.
A question for the Wise Ones:
How are we to determine the difference between a Troll and your Basic Ignorant Person? Are there clues (besides inappropriate use of capitalization)?
Good question.
Hey, wait a minute? Does the inappropriate use of capitalization make one a troll or Basic Ignorant Person?
whine But it’s so much FUN!!!

What’s a “ladel?”
It’s a dreidel that’s been stuck up someone’s ass.
The old spelling for ladle.
