Funniest site I’ve seen in months! And, with the current round of trolls, it’s useful too.

Duh.

This was obviously supposed to be part of the “Weird Erls” thread and I hit “new post” not “post reply”.

I’ll repost the info there and if you could just kill or lock or expunge this thread from existance, I’d appreciate it, TubaDiva.

Thanks!

Why give the trolls ammo?  
Aren’t they juvenile enough?

Oh, I see, you meant I should give a troll a link to a bare butt? Not exactly droll, is it?

The trouble with troll wars seems to be the number of juveniles on both sides. The adults all skip over both teams if they possiblly can.

I’d say it’s just a humerous look at some of the sorts of personalities that seem to pop up on message boards in general. It even seems pretty lighthearted and non-offensive all around.

I know all these people. Met 'em all here, mostly.

Thanks for the submission, I’ll send it up, see what happens.

And I’ll also close this thread, it’s now unnecessary.

For Weird Earl and Threadspotting submissions, please send me email. That’s [TubaDiva@aol.com](mailto:TubaDiva@aol.com).

Thanks.
