Here’s how it should go down, in my opinion:

[QUOTE=A thread about whatever]

Blah blah blah, people talking about stuff.

[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Carol Stream]

Look at me! I am shitting in your thread! LALAAAA! Shit shit shit! Yay! All of you suck and I am awesome!

[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=_One_ person in the thread]

Point and laugh at **Carol Stream**

[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Everyone else in the fucking thread]

Moves the fuck on with the thread

[/QUOTE]

Would this really be so hard? Just to laugh at her clear mental illnesses and inferiority complex one time and then move on? Why do people still feed her need to be looked at?

I pit her back in July for being herself too.

Just glad she was finally warned and punished, a little.

The only thing I have to say to you is:

Two mice fell in a bucket of cream  
A desperate fate, a struggle met  
The white flow a soft cold dream  
That pulled them down, a nightmare threat.  
One mouse drowned, a life submit  
The other thrashed, he wouldn’t quit  
His life was his, and strongly earned  
All the cream to butter, churned.  
I’ve earned your faith, a job, a house,  
As the mouse crawled out, to live his life.  
I’ve earned the love of my son and wife.  
I stand before you; I am that mouse.

Out of curiosity, how’s your cholesterol what with all that cream and butter swimming you’ve done.

And what of the bucket of cream now turned mouse butter? There’s a surprise at breakfast. Go to get some cream for the morning coffee only to find butter where the cream was and mousey bits all over it. No kinda way to start a day.

Man, you two are douchebags. Now then, back to the OP which roughly reads:

"People shouldn’t pay attention to Carol Stream.

XOXO,  
The Person Who Wrote an Entire Thread About Carol Stream."

Maybe it’s not bad that this has been immediately derailed. Good stuff.

I’m pretty sure the point of my thread was “People should point and laugh at Carol Stream, and then get on with their lives and not try to engage her in any type of discourse since she is obviously a troll.” But whatevs.

Well you did ask “Why do people still feed her need to be looked at?” Maybe you can answer that. To point out how much we need to laugh at her? You also seemed to say the eventual goal was for everyone to move the fuck on. Maybe this thread is part of the move-the-fuck-on process. Sure, fair enough, birdy.
