When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another :mad: and to assume among the powers of the earth , the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them ;), a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident :smack:, that all men are created equal :o, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness :D.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I’ve got a little list :dubious: I’ve got a little list :eek:
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed :mad: who never would be missed!
It’s a little known fact that emoticon overuse leads to nuttiness, so the OP was correct in picking out emoticon overuse as the thing to pit. After all, it could drive some of us into that pit, while silly theories about the way things should work will never do such a thing.
Oh, okay, Waverly. Gotta love the intelligence of someone nobly trying to lead the dull knives of the SDMB from an alleged troll… by posting in the thread about said alleged troll. Because that always works, right? One would think being above the fray would… well, ignore it all, perhaps? Man, you sure showed me your brilliance there!
Luckily we have concerned folks like yourself helping us along the way. I’m so thankful.
The only “confusion” here is how you managed to stumble into a thread about someone else, but come off as an attention whore: “Look at me! I’m clever because I don’t feed the trolls!” Good thinking, professor. I expect we shan’t hear from you here, anymore, as you’ve enlightened us all. Thanks so much!
