[QUOTE=askeptic]  
Speaking of things that are not fair… No fucking way DT belongs in that group, hell Valteron probably doesn’t belong in any group that has Carol in it.  
[/QUOTE]

All four have been called trolls many times. I only think one is a troll. If she is not a troll, she is at least a grade ‘A’ jerk with nothing to contribute.

The other 3 are good at pissing people off, indeed \*\*VC \*\* & \*\*DT \*\* have pissed me off, but they also contribute. \*\*Valteron \*\* doesn’t seem to push my buttons, he pushes plenty of others though.

I was just making a point, that posters do survive the label of Troll.

I enjoy \*\*DT \*\* posts in Café and sometimes I find myself agreeing with his anti-religious rants but wish he could tone them down a bit. It’s his wishing death on US serviceman that generally drives me nuts. But, I now ignore those posts. I beat my head against that wall enough times and neither of us is prepared to give an inch.

[QUOTE=lissener]  
It’s my opinion that you’re the most aggressive troll to join this board in a while. So, if you ask me, you won’t last long if you do join, unless you make more of an effort to learn the local culture. So yes, do join–the board needs the dough–but remember you don’t get a refund if you’re banned, and frankly I think if you continue as you have been the odds are fairly high.

[QUOTE=Frank]  
I could have closed the thread for attention-whoring; pulled the plug on the OP’s SDMB career for trolling; or moved the thread here.

Should I have emailed you and asked if any of those met your exacting standards for message board moderation?  
[/QUOTE]

Yes. You should have.

:rolleyes: Gee whiz. Settle down there, buddy.

OTOH, maybe I’m getting too jaded: “aggressive troll” could just mean “really bad at trolling subtly because he’s not actually a troll”. Troll or big mouth? I know the same question has been asked of me, so I’ll be curious to see what the Pit consensus is.

‘While’ can be pronounced with one or two syllables.

I’d vote for you to stay if you were funny. Good trolls are funny or ironic or clever in some way. Just being obnoxious doesn’t really cut it. If you decide to be funny, though, I think you should stay. If not, meh. . .doesn’t matter to me.

Eh?

Would that be pronounced wiley like wiley coyote? :dubious:

Are you sure it wasn’t one of the other words that had two syllables. . . like “a”? 😛

I guess I draw it out. Think y-el. I suppose ‘a’ could have two syllables also, a-uh, haha.

I didn’t want to join the SDMB. God help me, I didn’t.

But then this bald motherfucker named “Ed” crashed through my window carrying a two by four. I don’t remember much after that, other than the two by four had something about “gry” painted on it, and my credit card was missing.
