Shodan says, “I would have thought a mod, at least, would know that signoffs have explicitly been ruled as perfectly OK.” But where did Colibri say otherwise? Rather Colibri’s contention was: > [@Colibri](#): > > [He’s explicitly said he sometimes means it insultingly:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10503085&postcount=13) That’s incontrovertible Shodan, notwithstanding your claim in this thread: > [@What is trolling?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-trolling/544298/258): > > Yes, I know **pseudo whatever the fuck it is** kept claiming for a while that it was done to say “Fuck you” but he was making that up too. Um, no pseudo-whomever apparently wasn’t making shit up. But nice misdirection Shodan. Like I said, you’re pretty good at that. That’s all fine and well except that _it wastes our fucking time._ John Mace, Bricker and yeah I’ll say Sam Stone make points that are worth responding to.
