What makes you think I’m trying to be helpful?

So _you’re_ the one who’s been following me around recently. 🙂

Anyway, how about this war then?

At times; mostly. This situation, in my opinion, didn’t call for help. In fact, despite MachineHead’s stated intention to leave, I’m considering banning him. I not entirely convinced that his activities here today are anything more than trolling.

Yet, you told him he had a valid point in starting his thread against Brian Ekers elitism.  
Can you explain that to me again?

In a strange kind of anti-pitting…meet me in “About This Message Board.”

Sure. It’s easy. That thread itself would be fine and it is a valid point; newbies are indeed handled roughly at times. However, MachineHead also posted something very much like it in MPSIMS, had that juvenile squabble going with sixseven in the Pit and, if that ain’t enough there’s his thread bashing Americans. I’d also note that even though he’d requested the Bryan Ekers’ thread closed, he continued to post to it. All of these are, to me, indications of trollery.

Er…err…eeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr…

Excuse me MachineHead, you also have started the thread about the war in the Great Debate yourself…

Is this a case where the chicken jumped into the roasting pit by itself?

**UB** , you’re not supposed to make accusations of trolling, just click “report this post to a moderator” under the post.

Oh…

Wait a sec…

Oops, looks like I wasn’t careful with the fuck you’s and they slipped out of their cages.
