I had an account on that site for a few weeks, but didn’t realize that their minimum age was 16. I foolishly revealed my age and I got banned for two years. My banning isn’t lifted until the summer of 2014. But I don’t care because I didn’t like that message board that much anyways. This one is much better in my opinion.

I can’t imagine how you found this board that way. We don’t even have a lot of threads about country music.

I think if you look at the smilies as smug smiles, it makes more sense.

Yeah, I think she’s probably 12 - 13 years old, has an Iphone or Ipad her parents are paying for, and has noticed she can steal wifi from McD’s from the parking lot.

You actually don’t have to do anything - that’s blaming other people for your actions again. (It’s true everybody else could shut up, too.) But yet again, you’re ignoring questions and doing this superiority thing.

Bullshit.

1. There is no way someone who is making her living at McDs could afford to buy the kind of laptop you must be using to do all this posting. So, either you are lying about your age, your occupation or who is buying your shit for you.

2. You don’t have to do anything at all, particularly post on this board.

3. You are not setting any records straight, you are just repeating the same things that we don’t believe.

4. You aren’t limiting your bazillion posts and smilies to responding to “accusations and harassment” (HA!) so whether or not we point out your inconsistencies, we still end up with you harassing us with your imaginary sky fairy and polluting the place with your insincere smilies.

I was wondering if in a previous incarnation JOSH had been a paraplegic skydiver, if you know what I mean. But they say she appears on many websites doing this? Weird.

What you believe is your choice. And for the record, I only spent $300 on my lap top and I got it back in September of 2010 and if you continue to think that I am lying to you, oh well. All that I can say to you then is to enjoy the losing end of that battle as much as a person can because that is where you are always going to be. 🙂 🙂 🙂

No I don’t.

God bless you two always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

She’s too stupid to realize that many of us are counting on that fact. For all of the abuse trolls get, they have some endearing features - such as absolute, atomic-clock predictability and Trolly is no exception certainly. I just wish the observation weren’t quite so mundane and I could take some pleasure in making it.

C’est la vie.
